Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There are many possibilities, Bubby may have an abscess from a bit especially if he is an outdoor cat, it could be a mat of hair if he is a long haired cat or it could be a tumor. I recommend having him looked at tomorrow by your Vet. Good luck!
