Just doing a thorough check of my cat the next four weeks as he is on an elimination diet for possible allergies. Is it part of the cat anatomy to have a round white bump like thing on either side of the front mouth/lip. Right where the two big fangs come down to rest at the bottom?
thanks madara

Do you mean the somewhat larger one on the bottom that sits behind/under the canines? Or the 2-3 clear-white (depends on cat's mouth color) ones that are on the bottom lip directly behind where the canines rest? Both should be there. I suspect the former is just due to the canine tooth resting where it does. I don't know what the little bump/ridges on the bottom inner lip are. Not every single cat has them, but many do.
