cat pregnant?

Question
Hi, I am really worried about this cat my daughter brought home. It had a bulge on its stomach and she thought it might be a hernia...this bulge is very big maybe the size of a plum. Now there are 2 more bulges that are smaller than the first one. She thinks the cat is pregnant but I am not so sure. I felt the lumps and could feel no movement or shape of a possible kitty inside of her. They are very hard and misshapen. I noticed that when she poops it is a very foul smell. I did notice her nipples are protruding. Could she be pregnant with dead kittens? I don't know what to do?

Answer
Hi Karen.  Take the cat to the vet.  Those bulges could be a number of things, but because they are mostly medical that should be seen by a vet, I don't want to say it's DEFIITELY this, or DEFINITELY that.  Make sure you take her to the vet as soon as you can.

Good luck!
