Question
my cat has swollen teats and has not ever had kittens. she has not been fixed or ever mated. she is about 12 years old,but dosent show signs of pain.she eats good, not fat,uses the bathroom regular.what could this be and do i need to have a vet check this out?

Answer
Hi Mike,
She could possibly be going through a false pregnancy. When this happens, her teats will swell and sometimes even produce milk! Gently squeeze on one and see if there is any milk.  You really should take her to the Vet, because if it is, then you she needs a shot to dry up the milk. If it's not a false pregnancy, then she needs to be checked for mammary tumors or mastitis.  

God Bless!
