Any vets or educated cat people?
Here is a pic of my cat. Going to the vet tommorow. He is 7 years old and we are thinking it is an infection of tumor. If it is a tumor, I am prepared to have to put home down. He has been my buddy since I was a wittle boy. Can anyone shed some lift on what it could be before the vet does?

When you move it, does it feel attached or does it feel more like it's in the skin?
Could be a number of things. Does he go outside? Any other cats he could have got into a fight with?

My guess would be a scratch or bite that got infected and that swelling is probably puss.

Yea he is an outside cat. It has gotten worse over the weekend but was on vacation when it happened and the fluffy animal sitter said he was never seen...

If he could get into something that cut him an got infected I'd think infection from that first. But has he had a lump forming their for a while? I hope you figure it out and he's ok!

In that area it might be hard to tell, the swelling wouldn't make it easier. I'm going with everyone and say it's an infection. A puncture wound needs to heal from the inside out. If he got bit and it scabed over it will just fill with puss.
He could have got bit, bug bite, bee sting, scratched or even scratched himself.
I'm hoping it's something that simple and they will just have to drain it and give him antibiotics.
Goodluck.

Oh, the poor baby. Hopefully Satomi will chime in, I believe she is in Veterinary school. Keep us posted please.
