Help lump on cat's neck

[maybebabybee]

Was just stroking my cat and noticed a tiny lump on her neck. It's not causing her pain, not red, not itchy. Feels like its under the skin. Very, very small - maybe a quarter of a centimetre.

She is two years old, indoor cat, spayed, perfectly healthy, not off her food etc etc.

I will take her to the vet of course but am panicking. Any words of wisdom?

It's probably something very simple and benign, worrying wont help either of you.

Does it wobble and move with the skin? Bit squishy rather than hard? - makes it v likely to be a cyst.

If she is perfectly healthy then it's likely to be nothing but it's so hard not to worry. One of mine had a lump removed which turned out to be a cyst but I just felt we had to know for certain what it was. I turned into a giant stress ball while it was happening.

It's so tiny I keep losing it!

Yes its definitely soft and mobile....

Very very likely to be a harmless cyst then :)

Warning signs would be being hard, painful, red and fixed to underlying tissue. It's none of those

Has she had any jabs recently? Mine both got lumps/swelling afterwards and I was told it's perfectly normal and goes away in a few weeks

No no jabs since her boosters in July.

Is she chipped? I can feel the chip on dcat's neck.

She is chipped actually - you're right it might be that!
