My handsome little outside boy, Norton, has a little bump on his tail right near his back. It is flakey and dandruff-like, but it is a bump not just a skin irritation.

I am taking him to the vet tomorrow and I'd like cat site feedback on whether other cats have had problems like this and what was done about it. Or anything else you want to add.

Or just good wishes that it is not serious. I had a wonderful little cat die of a cancerous tumor of her eyelid, so I am worried.

Thank you.

Thank you for your good wishes. They must have worked because I just got home from the vet's and Norton is OK!

The vet said it was just a wart, a kind that is never malignant and he cut it off. Norton didn't even wince even though he didn't use any anesthetic.
What a guy! He got a shot of penicillin, just in case of infection. He didn't complain about that either.

He is outside in the garden now resting.
