What's this solid, painless lump on my cat's leg? Is it serious?

Question

I was playing with my two year old cat and noticed a small bump/lump on his right leg. It feels solid and it isn't painful when we touch it. Pet's info: Cat | Bombay | Male | neutered | 1 year and 1 month old | 19 lbs

Please take Sabbath in to have the lump examined. The most common lumps in cats are from infections but those generally are hot and painful. Cats do get masses that can be cancerous so having it examined is best. They can get some cells through a small needle and have it looked at to determine if it needs to be removed. The lump may be benign or an infection which would be nothing to be concerned about but I recommend finding out for sure what it is.
