I think my kitty cat has breast cancer.
Taking her to the vet tomorrow. One of her teats is very swollen and extremely tender to touch, so I can't tell if there's a lump. It hangs down and swings when she walks. She's been spayed.

3. Don't know about breast cancer in cats, but...
...swelling and tenderness aren't usual symptoms in humans.

Hope your kitty is okay.

6. It's possible that is mastitis.
I had a dog back in the late 80s who had it. I thought "breast cancer" too. It was an infection of the milk glands, and although she had never been pregnant, it can still happen. You are wise to take her to the vet because mastitis is painful to the animal and the infection can spread if you don't treat it. :hug: :pals: I hope it turns out ok!
