There are many ways to treat engorged milk lumps in cats. Generally, applying a warm compress to the affected area twice a day for 15 minutes each time, along with gentle massage, can help reduce the lumps, soothe the mammary tissue, improve local blood circulation, aid milk flow, and alleviate symptoms. Reduce the amount of high-nutrient food and switch to a low-nutrient formula cat food, made into a paste and fed in small, frequent meals to decrease milk production and prevent indigestion.
Furthermore, follow-up studies have found that pet owners have a 24% lower risk of premature death (including all causes), a 31% lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease, and a 65% lower risk of death from heart attack. Therefore, owning a cat can significantly reduce the chances of sudden heart attack or stroke, which is scientifically supported.
