I had a cat, Max, who came to me as an adult - former slaves could no longer keep him - he had a lump on his belly which thankfully turned out to be an umbilical hernia. But you won't know what it is until you've seen a vet and had a proper diagnosis. Keep us posted on how she gets on.  :crossed:

Yes I agree. Sometimes they do have a little umbilical hernia in the position of the 'tummy button' It can close up sometimes but other times it may need stitched or repaired to ensure all is well as the kitten grows.
Book your little one in to have this checked out :)...and welcome :)

Hope you got this sorted out.

One off our cats looked liked they had a kitty hernia turned out to be a bit more serious but he coped well with surgery and hasn't looked back  :)

Hi Bella

If she is her normal self other than the lump I would pop her along to the vet's tomorrow to get them to take a look as we would only be guessing what it may be.
