What's this growing pink bump on my cat's back that's oozing pus?

Hello. This is probably a sebaceous cyst. Do not squeeze on it, but do clean it gently with a skin antiseptic like Hibiclens ( available at all pharmacies ). You might want to have your vet take a look just to make sure, as we can see other lesions that look similar. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
