Is this a tick, a tumor? Outdoor kitty. I only.moved here a yr ago but I look after him. Already fixed but hes definitely an outdoor cat. I was able to squeeze some revolution on his neck but didn't get the whole tube on him before he ran away. I do have a preserve near me. Deer, etc so it.could be a tick but I've never seen them this big. Pretty gross. From what I can tell it did appear suddenly.

Really difficult to tell from the picture. If it is a tick, he looks like a big boy and would probably need the whole tube.

Is there any way to get a closer look and maybe get him to a vet?

I actually put revolution on him and then a couple of hours later he came back with no visible bump. Hopefully if it was a tick it got a taste of the revolution and slid off.
It is really woodsy near me. I suppose I should het used to the bugs but they skeeve me outt!
