My senior cat has a breast lump, vomiting, gurgling. Should I worry?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Hi. I am writing you for my cat. he is 13-14 yer old. Lat few months she got a big swollen thing on her breast. I wanted to take her to vet but my friends who had the same condition told me not to. Because in their cat things got worse after surgery. I my country there re not very good vets. I noticed that my cat makes a lot of noise while sleeping like old men do. And today she is very restless. From her inside i can hear a lot of noises like gurgling and she is shaking. She vomited twice.

I'm wondering if your cat is spayed or not. If your cat isn't spayed, she could have a mammary tumor. In cats, 90% of these are malignant. She does have to see a vet for this problem, as a malignant tumor could also be causing her to vomit. Please take her into a vet now. Best of luck.
