Hello - I just found this site late last night, searching for what could possibly be wrong with my cat. On Saturday I noticed that she has a few small lumps on her neck - throat, really - and a couple on her belly - they seem rather hard. They are approximately the size of small peas, but are not perfectly round - the biggest one on her throat feels "bumpy" and more flat and elongated than round. (My first thought was swollen lymph glands, but don't know if they would be uneven/flat/bumpy like these are). I'm terrified that it's some type of tumors??
My baby (kitty) is only about 5 years old.
She appears healthy otherwise - eating, sleeping, grooming, and playing normally, litter-box contents are "normal"
She doesn't seem sick or in pain and doesn't look like she has lost any weight. I am pretty sure that these lumps were not there until just the last week or so, as I **very** frequently pet her under throat and belly, as she loves that. She doesn't seem bothered when I touch/feel the lumpy areas. The only difference I note in her behavior is that she doesn't want me to brush under her throat, which she normally ADORES and purrs loudly for - she'll let me pet her there, but not brush.
Any ideas? Please tell me that this DOESN't sound like some kind of tumors...
Thank you
