What is this brown lump on my cat's stomach? Should I worry?

Question

I was rubbing my cats stomach and felt something that at first I thought was his nipple but it stuck out more. It was brownish blackish and kind looked like a tick. I pulled on it lightly and my cat (male, age 5, indoor cat) and he didn't react and it came out easily followed by a trail of white flimsy stuff that came out of the skin. It left a hole in the skin but it feels like there is something hard under the skin in that spot still. What was the thing I pulled out? Should I worry?

It should be just a cyst, it will fill up again with time. It shouldn't cause him any discomfort nor become red or inflamed . For the time being, you can keep an eye on it , obviously if you are worried have Kody assessed by your vet.
