I noticed my cat has these two symmetrical bumps under her canines, is this cause for concern? she gets really nervous going to the vet i dont want to stress her out if its nothing! Thank you helping! Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 1 year and 7 months old | 10 lbs

If these are symmetrical on both sides and not changing, they are likely normal for Cali. Some cats will develop a benign thickening in the lip where the opposite canine tooth touches. Your vet will be able to provide better feedback with an in-person exam, but as long as they’re not changing and Cali seems comfortable, it can probably wait until Cali’s next routine appointment. Hope this helps.
