I feel like my cat’s belly is a bit swollen
From the photo, no obvious abnormality was found. If the cat shows no adverse symptoms, a slightly large belly may be normal; kittens may look round from overeating. Control portions with small frequent meals. If symptoms appear, it may be indigestion, parasites, or other disease needing a vet.
Since last month after eating rain-wet cat grass, my cat has sudden violent coughing fits with convulsions, vomits something early on then nothing, big belly breathing, takes minutes to calm

My Dog Is Shedding Skin (Including Nose and Hind Leg) and Is Too Weak to Stand

My Hamster Sleeps Constantly, Is Weak, and Walks Slowly – Is It Dying?
Lethargy and inactivity are common signs of illness - see a vet. If not convenient, keep the environment warm and give glucose, watch for improvement. Hamsters are sensitive to temperature swings; if no improvement, seek care.
This morning I saw a bit of red liquid in his cage and on the bedding; his spirits are normal and he eats and drinks fine, but he’s new and scared of me so I won’t pick him up. He hasn’t eaten red food, only some seafood and beans lately. Could that be why?
Red liquid in a hamster's cage is likely blood in urine from urinary issues or hemorrhagic enteritis, or hemolysis from bad food. See a vet; if delayed, adjust diet and watch. Persisting or worsening needs prompt care.
