Hi there! I totally understand that finding a bump on your cat can be worrisome, but let's take a deep breath together and go over what this might mean. Cats can develop bumps for a variety of reasons, and many of them are not immediately serious.
Common causes of a bump on your cat can include things like abscesses from minor injuries or scrapes, benign cysts, allergic reactions, or even small benign tumors. It's important to gently check the bump. Is it soft or hard? Is it growing quickly? Does it seem to irritate your cat?
While monitoring the bump, you can also keep your cat a bit more comfortable. Make sure they're not licking or scratching the area excessively, as that can cause irritation. Applying a warm, damp cloth gently over the area might soothe it if your cat allows.
Keep an eye out for signs like rapid growth, discharge, changes in color, or if your cat seems in pain or is not acting like themselves. If you notice these signs, it's important to take action.
I recommend booking a video consult with one of our veterinarians on Dial A Vet for a more detailed evaluation. They'll be able to guide you on the next best steps and help ease your mind.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
