Wgat the title says really. Its on her abdomen, left hand side under ribcage.

Is there any hard lumpy bits meant to be there ?

It wobbles about and my cat doesnt seem in any pain.

Should i be worried ?

Sorry Flowers Haven't any advice apart from need to take to vet. We all know cats hide pain well but even if non-malignant tumour, better to get advice.

Cats sometimes get sebaceous cysts that present like that and are harmless, although that does seem like an odd place for them (but I'm not a vet so really what do I know!). So don't worry yourself too much, but do take her to a vet.

Thanks for your responses :)

I think my mums dog has a cpuple of thoses cysts. His feel 'fatty' though but im no vet.

The awful thought is i dread to think if it is worse case senario. Im on mat leave and about to go on no pay :( we dont have insurance for her as she was a neighbours cat. And tbh, anything weve needed the vet for never even came close to what the excess would be.

Could be a hernia maybe, or cyst, but my dog has cysts and they are hard fatty lumps
She needs too see a vet really,if a cyst it might just be left if not painful
If you have a largish bill, most vets will give you a pay plan, but you cant ignore it really

Our vets gave us interest free credit through a company.

Hope it is nothing serious OP x
