Ok.. I am the biggest worry wart and I'm almost positive I'm worrying for nothing but I wonder if anyone knows anything about cat anatomy.. because I know nothing.
I *think* I'm feeling some kind of small bump or mass under Zoey's chin like on the left side, under her jaw - on the side underneath (hard to explain exactly where) when I was giving her scritches the other day. It's only about the size of a large pea or so and it moves around when I feel over it.. almost as if its a part of her skin, but not really
its not like perfectly round or anything either. Now, I have tried to do some research and I cant find anything harmful that matches this specific description. Her behaviour has not changed in the slightest bit.
Do cats have tonsils? Do they get sore throats? Or I was thinking maybe her and Saki got rough and Saki bit her there or scratched her but there is no scab or skin irritation or anything like that. Do they have muscles and tendons under their jaws? Are they the same on both sides? Do cats pull muscles?
Does anyone know the answers to these questions
As worrywart as I am I dont think this warrants a vet visit, lord knows first sign of anything odd and I would take my cats to the vet, if anything in her eating habits or behaviour changed I'd be there in a second, but that's not the case.. I'm thinking its more of an anatomy question that I have tried searching for on the net but to no avail.
