Hi. The past few weeks I've noticed this small hard lump on my cats head. Shes not in pain and it hasn't changed in size. Any advice would be great thanks.

It is most likely a cyst but any new lumps you find on your cat should be checked out by your vet. It is very difficult for us to give advice about something like this without seeing it and feeling it.
