Something has happened to the cats tail

[Besom]

Cat has a lump on his tail today and a bit of fur missing. I can't see any bood. Maybe been bitten or got it stuck somewhere. He's holding it up fine and seems normal in himself eating fine and wanting to go out but it is obviously a bit sore to the touch. Vet? Or wait and see what happens?

Blood not bood

Vet
My cat has a lump, no blood on side, not bothered etc. But last time this happened it was a hidden teeth puncture, bump was the infection. So we're off to vet later just in case

Sounds as if it may be an abscess. Vet visit recommended.

Yes I was wondering about an abcess. Thanks
