Hi guys!

3 days ago, my parent's pretty girl Buffy suddenly got a bump near her nose. It appeared pretty much out of nowhere, but hasn't gotten any bigger or changed colors at all. It doesn't seem to be bothering her--she doesn't lick or rub at it--but they're just a little worried because they don't know what it is. 

Just some other general info--she's a buff tabby coming up on two years old. She does go outside every once in a while (under close supervision), but she's pretty much exclusively an indoor gal. She has a brother Tony and they tussle a bit, but they've never injured each other, and that doesn't strike me as something injury related. Their litter-boxes use clay litter.


If you guys have an idea of what this might be, we'd appreciate any insight!

Huh, apparently whatever it was fell off on its own with just a bit of discoloration left behind, so I guess it's probably nothing to be concerned about.

Thank you for the update! I'm glad things are fine now. I would watch out for similar lesions in the future. It looks like a possible case of ringworm to me and it's entirely possible that it was a one-time occurrence but it's something to watch out for.
