Lisa gets hungry every 2 hrs and drinks voraciously. She has swollen belly. I have attached some pics here. Should I worry?

Oh bless her, from the picture yes I think she has a swollen abdomen which I think might be due to worms. Sometimes ineffective wormers are used, I suggest you take her to your vet for a check up, deworming and discuss vaccination protocols . Worms can be life threatening when infesting small cats like her. Good luck !
