Hey guys, first post to this site, I so wish this wasn't my first post. Earlier today I was petting my 12 year old American short hair Berry and noticed a decent sized lump that seems quite hard, my heart dropped and a small panic attack set in as I continued to roll the lump around in my fingers and immediately began thinking of the worst. Here's are my observations 1. A hard roughly Nickel sized lump 2.isn't attached to anything except for maybe under the skin when I grab the scruff and feel it. 3 it's located by his shoulder on the front left leg. 4. It doesn't bother him at all when I touch it. And 5. I think I can feel the borders of it and it does feel a little irregular but I'm not 100% sure I'm still kind of in a panic mode. I know I need to get him to the vet to have it looked at but money is kind of tight right now so I dunnon when I can get him in after his detail surgery. I dunno what to do and I'm so scared because if it is cancer I know that it could be quite aggressive. Sorry about that I let everything run away from me. I've just had this cat since my sophomore year in high school and has been with my through three girlfriends. He's my rock. Again sorry
