The cat in question: my 18 year old Sasha. Since age 10 (give or take) he has developed warts on his hind quarters, which the Vet told me were normal for a cat his age.
A few minutes ago I was petting him and felt one large wart on his back near his tail. It felt loose and didn't seem to hurt him, so I gently pulled on it...and it came off effortlessly, with a bit of fur stuck to it. For anyone who's ever had a large skin tag frozen off, that's what it looked like: a large, hairy skin tag.
Only in Sasha's case, it wasn't frozen off, zapped off or anything like that;it just came off on its own! Is that normal? He's an indoor cat and we live on a 23rd floor; it's not likely to be a dead tick, or is it?
