My cat has small, hard, non-itchy bumps on his skin. What are they?

Question

My cat has small, hard, bumps on his belly, his neck and on the backs of his back legs. They started on his neck a couple of weeks ago and are now on the belly towards his back legs and on the backs of his legs. They do not itch and do not seem to bother him when I touch them. Can you tell me what they may be? Pet's info: Cat | American Curl | Male | neutered | 15 lbs

This is probably caused by an allergic reaction. first of all make sure you de-flea Sybok regularly every month with a high quality spot on (ex. Advantage) as fleas are by far the most common reason for these reactions. If the fleas are not the problem, it could be an allergic reaction to food or an environmental factor. this is more complicated to treat and will sometimes require medications such as Steroids, anti histamines or cyclosporin in order to stop the allergy.
