My cat has a small neck bump that keeps coming back. What is it?

Question

My cat has had a small pimple thing on his neck for months. It’s been popped twice, he doesn’t seem to mind it, but it came back both times. What the heck is it? Pet's info: Cat | Maine Coon | Male | neutered | 10 years and 7 months old | 8 lbs

Of course a biopsy is needed for definitive diagnosis, but I suspect by the picture and what you describe that it may be a sebaceous (oil) gland cyst. They will not go completely away, but are usually pretty quiet and don’t cause problems. To be safe I would recommend having it examined by a veterinarian. Good luck to you and Willard.
