Hello - has this cat been sexed? We avoid sexing cats on this site, especially moving ones, but it may be worth checking. The other thing is that the gestational period of a cat is approximately 63 days, so if it has been that way for 3-4 months, then a normal pregnancy may seem unlikely anyway. There are various causes of swollen abdomens in cats. A common one is a build up of fluid, which can come from FIP, cancer or heart disease. Other causes can include liver disease, Cushings, kidney disease, or a failure of blood clotting. Parasites are a much rarer cause. However, the truth about stray cats is that many of them actually have owners who are searching for them. We would reccommend taking this one to a vets or RSPCA centre; they may well be able to scan it and reunite it with its owner - and if medical treatment is needed, they might also let you know.
