Causes and solutions for why cats have a big belly and feel bloated:

1. Obesity: Obesity caused by overfeeding or lack of exercise. Reasonably control the cat’s diet and nutritional composition, and increase the amount of exercise appropriately.

2. Indigestion: Food cannot be digested, and gas and toxins accumulate in the body. Change the cat's eating habits, fix the eating time every day, and control the fat-containing and high-fiber foods in the diet; train the cat's swallowing posture to avoid swallowing foreign bodies, increase the amount of water it drinks, etc.

3. Parasitic infections: such as roundworm, Toxoplasma gondii, etc. Carry out deworming treatment and pay attention to regular prevention.

4. Ascites: accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity. Go to the veterinarian promptly for examination and treatment.

5. Eat too much, and there is a lot of feces accumulated in the stomach or intestines. It is a normal phenomenon. Just don’t let your cat exercise vigorously.

6. Cysts or tumors may appear in abdominal organs. Seek medical examination promptly.

7. It may be caused by diseases such as cat-borne abdominal disease, peritonitis, cirrhosis, heart failure, hypoalbuminemia, etc. The owner should go to the hospital immediately for examination and treatment.

It should be noted that if the cat’s belly is very large and bloated to the touch and continues to be accompanied by symptoms such as difficulty breathing and loss of appetite, the cat should be taken to the veterinarian for follow-up in time.
