idk i am worried cause my cat has the same thing... i hope its not cancer... :( Edit: That really depends on what you mean by "lump." Is it inside or outside? When you say "near his stomach" do you mean his ribcage? What you should do is take him to the vet for a check-up. He could have a stomach tumor, it could be that you're just feeling his bowels (which was what it turned out to be with my cat), he could have worms (you would see it in his stool if he had worms), or maybe a hairball (it happens, right?). It could also just be a pimple or a knot. You can't be sure until you have him checked out.
well with my cat right after she had her kittens. So it means that the kittens are coming.
It may just be like a mole. i would consult a vet to be on the safe side
A cat will eat grass to cure its stomach ache. This may also be a hairball problem.
No, warm cow's milk will make the problem worse. Crackers are far too dry and, as soothing on the stomach they are for humans, they are not for a cat. The best thing to feed a cat is plain (not seasoned) cooked chicken, preferably boiled. Plain chicken is very bland and very easy for a cat's stomach to digest. You can even use some of the cooking water to moisten the chicken with, or just to entice the cat to drink. Purchasing malt paste such as Pro-Kolin may also help. This paste is a probiotic and helps balance the bacteria in the cat's stomach and gut. Keep the cat on this bland diet for a few days should give things enough time to settle. If your cat is still unwell after a few days, it is recommended to consult a vet.

A cat's stomach should not be hard. You should have it examined by a veterinarian as quickly as possible.
He needs to be taken to be looked at by a qualified vet.
Part your cat's fur at the lump and try to identify if the lump is part of the cat, or something on it. If it is not part of the cat, try to identify what it is. If it is a burr, remove it gently with your hands or a brush. If it is a tick, grab the tick's body and SLOWLY pull it off.
Kill him
A cat's stomach changes its shape and size according to its fullness. Empty, an adult cat's stomach is about the size of a small human fist. It stretches as the cat eats.
If the lump is hard and feels like a rounded ridge over the back near the front legs, these are the edges of the shoulder blades. Other than this, I would suspect infection or tumor, which would need to be evaluated by a veterinarian.
Unless the milk is from its mother, you should not give it any type of milk that we drink. The cat may get a stomach ache.

Sometimes a cat will drink a lot of water, over-extend its stomach, and then throw up to relieve the pressure. However, if this is happening repeatedly, it is worth checking with a vet. If a cat does not have access to grass, it will drink water to relieve a stomach ache, and this can result in clear vomit if the cat drinks too much. A cat suffering from repeated stomach ache should be checked by a vet for more serious problems.
A cat has only one stomach.
no, or your cat will rip your stomach out to get it.
