Strange lump on skull....

Post by Yzma »

I've just noticed a lump on the bottom of Mythie's skull...

When you press it, Mythie doesn't seem to notice. In fact it seems as if it is part of the skull... I know that there is in fact a bump on the base of most cat skulls, but Mythie's is particularly prominent. So much so, that the hair around the bump raises up very slightly... The thing is that we never noticed it before, I can't be sure wether it's always been there, or not...

It doesn't seem to hurt her when we push against it, or stroke over it, and it doesn't seem to be a lump that's moving/movable... It also seems to slope off towards her left more than to her right... It is in fact just very slightly to the left...

In comparison to our other two cats, .... well we can feel the bump on the heads as well but it's no where near as large... Is this normal?

Probably nothing to worry about, but ask your vet about it the next time you take her in for a recheck.
