It's understandable to be concerned when you notice changes in your cat's mole, especially when it develops a blister-like appearance. While your cat doesn't seem bothered by it, this change might warrant a closer examination.
- Monitor any changes in the mole's size, color, or shape.
- Look for signs of irritation or infection around the mole.
- Consider a veterinary check-up to rule out any serious issues.
Changes in a mole can sometimes indicate an underlying issue, such as an infection or, less commonly, a type of skin cancer. Cats can develop blisters or ulcers over moles due to trauma, irritation, or less commonly, due to more serious dermatological conditions. While your cat may not seem in distress, it's wise to consult with a vet to get it properly assessed, ensuring her health and well-being.
