My cat has a red, penny-sized bump on her stomach. What should I do?

Question

My cat has a red bump under her body, located on the right stomach area. And I’m a little worried. She doesn’t seemed bothered when I touch it. I just wanted to know what could it be? I haven’t noticed any other symptoms and she seems fine. The size of the bump is like a penny. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed

This kind of lump/growth needs to be ideally assessed by your veterinarian to have a definitive and specific answer. Usually there are two ways your vet can do that a part from examining it directly during physical examination. A biopsy can be taken under local or general anesthetic, otherwise a smaller sample through a fine needle can be aspirated (this technique is called FNA= fine needle aspiration). Differentials include skin cysts, infections, benign or more sinister type of tumors.
