Tiny lump found on my cats abdomen

Hello there! Finding a lump on your cat can certainly be concerning, but let’s talk through it together. A small lump on your cat's abdomen could be a few different things. It might be a benign cyst, which is generally harmless, or it could be a small abscess if your cat has had a minor injury, like a scratch. Cats also occasionally develop benign fatty growths called lipomas.



Keep an eye on the lump for changes. If it’s soft and can be moved slightly under the skin, it's often less concerning. However, if it becomes hard, grows quickly, or changes shape, those could be signs to watch for that warrant further attention.



At home, ensure your cat doesn’t scratch or lick the area excessively. Monitor it daily and note any changes in size, shape, or color. If you notice your cat seems uncomfortable or in pain, or if the lump becomes hot or fluid-filled, it would be wise to seek a vet's opinion promptly.
