My outdoor cat developed a strange lesion on her ear after spending time in the sun.

[]

Answer

Lesions on the ears of outdoor cats, especially those with light-colored fur, can be indicative of solar dermatitis or even early stages of squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer, due to sun exposure. It's really important to get this checked out promptly. Early detection and treatment are key for better outcomes. I recommend taking your cat to your veterinarian for a thorough examination and possibly a biopsy of the lesion. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance on protecting your outdoor cat from sun exposure.
