Hello. At this point, it looks like Zam Zam has a small cyst on his lip. It would help to know his age, but if he is a pretty young cat, a couple of years or so, then I would not be concerned that this is anything really serious. It may even be related to an allergic response called a rodent ulcer. If it remains this small, then no immediate attention is required, but if it dramatically begins to enlarge, you will want to have it evaluated. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
