My cat has a strange spot he keeps licking or scratching, what is it?

Question

My cat is a 2 year old domestic short hair rescue kitty. He has this spot that he will occasionally mess with but not regularly. He's on Revolution but I wondered what it could be? Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 2 years and 6 months old | 8 lbs

Thank you for providing a picture of Jack's spot! This little lump could be a cyst or a benign tumor that is annoying him, but without seeing him in person I can't say for certain. Because he is messing with it, it would be a good idea for Jack to be seen by a vet for it. The vet can diagnose what this lump is, and what treatment is required if any.
