Welcome to www.tendlife.com !!!

my male cat looks pregnant? could he be bloated?

Question:
He looks a bit round in the belly, which is weird....kinda looks like pregnant female would look.....he is still walking around like usual and acting the same but hes just a bit round and I dont know what to think of it. I touch his belly and pressed a bit and it felt firm...not squishy like fat.

Answer:
I'd get to an emergency vet clinic asap, it could be VERY serious. Bloating can be anything from gas to a liquid buildup from a cancerous tumor but it's not worth taking a wait and see approach. I'd also ask for x-rays and bloodwork to rule out the problem right away. Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

Answer:
Does your cat have any other symptoms? The first thing I thought of here was FIP, which is alarming. See info in the link, but probably not the best link, sorry. Please take your cat to the vet and keep him away from other cats. Otherwise, could be intestinal parasites? A lot of them. Could be something else but a vet visit is necessary.
