My cat has 2 soft inner "balls" in her lower abdomen. They surround her lower nipples. They are soft to the touch. Wen shes walking she looks like she has extra skin down there. Can it be a tumor or something that can put her health at risk?

Those are normal fat pads. Most adult cats have these particularly cats who are less active and slightly overweight. They do feel like masses but they are normal and nothing to be overly concerned about. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Ava.
