Yesterday I discovered a lump on my cat's inner thigh. He has a vet appointment tomorrow morning to have it looked at.

He's not one to let himself be poked and prodded (except by the vet) so I only got to look at it for a minute. It feels like it's IN the loose skin of his inner thigh, I think.

I'm trying not to panic, but I lost my oldest cat to eye cancer just a year and a half ago. Does anyone have experience with this kind of thing being something benign?

He's ten years old.

but my sister's cat had a lump on his face. didn't seem to hurt him - he'd let her feel of it & move it around [it was similar to a wart, but less attached]. anyway, his was nothing - a fatty cyst of some kind. the vet simply aspirated it, & that was that.

Thanks, Laureen227! I took him to the vet this morning and it's just a cyst. Relief.
