She's either pregnant or fat. I don't know the gender.

Yes, definately take him/her to the vet. If it is a she, the vet can confirm and talk about options regarding the pregnancy.



I am hoping she is not pregnant and you can take care of that worry down the road fast with a spay or neuter depending on the sex of the cat.



You can also talk to the vet about giving a basic set of shots to the cat to help protect the cat. Outside cats face more dangers from Rabies, etc.



If you have a change of heart and want to take the cat in (great!), be sure it has a clean bill of health before it comes in contact with your current indoor cats. If there is any chance they'll come in contact, you'll want to vaccinate both that cat and your current cats against common diseases (Rabies, Feline Leukimia, Feline Aids) as the outdoor cat will probably want to be an indoor/outdoor cat and you don't want it bringing anything home to your indoor only cats.



Spay/Neuter and vaccinations are all things to talk over with the vet.



Good luck and bless you for worrying about this cat!
