hello-

my cat's about ten years old, and she has this bump in her ear. it's been there for a few weeks now. it doesn't seem to bother her, even when i touch it, but I am worried about what it could be. should I take her to the vet? does anyone think it's serious or have any idea what it could be?

thanks!

I would take her to the vet to make sure it's not bothering her and not dangerous. It will make you feel better too!

My 13 year old cat has what looks like the same thing I brought her to the vet said was normal and just keep  checking that it doesn't change. She had a name for it But I can't remember. I would bring the kitty in for a check up just to be sure though. Tiggers hasn't changed in 8 mos.

My guy has a 'thing' on the side of his neck. I took him to the vet, thinking it may be a mass or a tick or something. Very hard to see and find because of his fur. I can only feel it...

turned out to be a skin tag...I just keep watching ti to make sure it does not increase in size.
