My cat is about 5 to 6 years old. I have discovered to medium size lumps near his genital area, one on each leg. There is no hair on the lump, it is very soft, amd movable. Usually he is outside playing and running around but for the past few days he’s been inside and when you pick him up he meows a lot.

These lumps needs to be checked and analysed as there are many conditions and types of tumors that could look like that. take Mouse to the vet, they will perform a fine needle aspiration on the growth and send it to the lab for analysis. when the result comes, the vet will advise what needs to be done according to the diagnosis.
