Question
I think my cat is pregnant, I noticed a lump on her rear left side and it keeps getting bigger but its just on that one side. I also notice she has a scar under her belly that looks like its raw. Im not sure what that is or if its normal?

Answer
Natasha -

Most cats do not usually carry their pregnancy on one side.  Perhaps the lump is abscess or a growth of some sort.  

Scars are not normal, either.  Have your kitty examined by a veterinarian to determine if she is pregnant and to check out the "scar".

Unfortunately, I have not idea what the scar is because I have not given her a physical exam.
