Her name is Gypsy, shes a gray tiger striped cat, but we started noticing knots or lumps on her chest and belly area that are just getting bigger and bigger every day. We cant afford to take her to the vet, so i was just wondering if anyone might have a clue as to what it may be?

Would that it could be that simple! ONLY a vet can determine what's wrong, & it doesn't sound very positive. I knew a gal who had a lien put on her house, because she couldn't afford the vet AND property insurance. There must be some place you can take her, or maybe a friend you can borrow money from. The longer you wait, the greater the expense--& worse--to lose the cat. I'm sorry, but no one should take on the responsibility of a cat, dog, etc. unless they're prepared to take care of what's necessary.

Does she seem as if she's received some weight--fantastically interior the tummy section section? Are her boobies somewhat swollen up? If she isn't spayed, i'm having a huge gamble that this little female is pregnant. If she has been spayed, then she's not pregnant, yet she probably has some extra fat pads there. you may favor to diminish down on the quantity you're feeding her, or get between the decrease calorie meals. You did not say how previous this kitty is, so that is only a wager for a medium age (2-7 years previous) cat. with somewhat of luck, for you, she isn't pregnant.

it could be serious tumors, or it could be harmless cysts. My dog has had some cysts on her belly for years and has had no trouble from them, I dont know if it is possible for cats to get the same thing but I dont see why not. You might call a vet and see if they will work with you on the vet to lower the price a bit, or most will allow you to pay in installments I believe. If the cat starts acting sick and in pain though I think it could be considered cruelty if you do not do something about it.

She is pregnant, or she was pregnant from before.
That specific area "swells" up into packs along with the nipples, pointing out that she was/is pregnant.

Maybe shes getting ready to have a litter of kittens.

it could be fat, but it could be something serious. Look into your county for a low cost place that will be cheaper. I have found some of these before.
