A red, raised bump on your outdoor cat's skin could be a tick bite, an insect sting, or even a small abscess or allergic reaction. Ticks can transmit diseases, so examining the bump closely for a tick's body is important. If you find a tick, remove it carefully with tweezers, grasping near the skin. If it's just a bump, monitor it for swelling, heat, or discharge. If it persists, grows, seems painful, or your cat shows other symptoms, a vet visit is recommended. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
