The generic square-gradient density-functional model with triple-parabolicfree energy is used to study the stability of a cavity introduced into thestretched liquid. The various properties of the critical cavity, which is thelargest stable cavity within the liquid, are compared with those of thecritical bubble of the homogeneous bubble nucleation. It is found that the sizeof the critical cavity is always smaller than that of the critical bubble,while the work of formation of the former is always higher than the latter inaccordance with the conjectures made by Punnathanam and Corti [J. Chem. Phys.{\bf 119}, 10224 (2003)] deduced from the Lennard-Jones fluids. Therefore theirconjectures about the critical cavity size and the work of formation would bemore general and valid even for other types of liquid such as metallic liquidor amorphous. However, the scaling relations they found for the critical cavityin the Lennard-Jones fluid are marginally satisfied only near the spinodal.
