My cat has a lump under his stomach what does this mean? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

It is very difficult to assess this mass without a hands-on clinical exam. This could be just accumulated body fat (cats collect fat on and in their abdomen), a large hernia or a cyst or abscess. Your will need to take Otis to your veterinarian for an exam. Your vet will be able to tell you what this mass is. I am a bit worried about the area being hairless, he may be licking it a lot, which could be a sign of irritation or pain or overgrooming due to stress.
