My cat has a stubborn mole-like bump. Is it a scab or something else?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Any idea what this is? Tried whipping it with a towel but nothing worked to get it off. Feels like a mole

Is it a scab which could be related to a scratch or an infection. Without being able to move the hair around and feel the area, it's hard to say. Monitor it closely. If it is still there in 2 weeks or if it starts looking worse at any point, have your kitty examined. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
