This is an abscess which is a deep pocket of infection that is filled with pus and blood. It is probably the result of a cat fight. Martin needs to see a veterinarian to have this treated. The abscess needs to be drained and he needs to be on a prescription antibiotic medication to resolve the infection. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach
