Lump on cat ☹️

Looking for some advice in respect of this lump I’ve found on my cat which I’m certain wasn’t there last night. Will get her in the vets tomorrow. Could it be an abscess? It’s probably slightly larger than a 2p but a definite lump with a blister like centre and possibly 2 puncture markers but it’s hard to tell. And it looks like she’s licked all the fur off it.

She’s eating, purring, getting on the beds ok, walking on it without any obvious discomfort, but it’s too keen on me touching it!

Could well be an abcess from a bite. Do you have any metacam to together over until she sees the vet?

Could be, they are buggers for acting like everything’s fine & then an abscess bursts and it looks like someone’s smeared snot all over them.

At least you’re taking her to the vets today.

Mine had one a couple of weeks ago, got bigger and it was hurting. She ended up with a temperature and had it drained-I think that it had been a couple of weeks and got bigger and more painful.

She was running around the day after.
