Moon is off to the vet...UPDATE (Much better with PICS)

[MoonandBean]

Thanks guys...the vet said it looked like a traumatic inflammation. She thinks she sees some scratches around the lump and thinks he got scratched (maybe scratched himself or got in a scuffle with Bean), or maybe bit by something outside. He is an indoor cat but does go out in the yard and likes to lay in the tall grass so he could have been bit. She didn't think it was a cancerous tumor. She said it should start to go down and if not to call on Monday. The girls in the office were calling him "botox kitty" and "Angelina Moonie"

Thanks for caring

Oh, Moon, you gave your meowmie a scare. Hope you feel better soon, sweety!

I sure hope your vet is right. That must have been awfully scary for you.

Poor Moon. I'm glad that you were able to get him to your vet so soon and I hope that it's just what the vet has diagnosed and that it'll go away soon. These things always seem to happen close to holiday or a weekend don't they.

Oh wow... I would have been just as nervous. Glad it's not a tumor!

Feel better Moon!!

"Angelina Moonie" ROFL! Aww, that's not a macho name for a great kitty like Moon!

I hope he is still eating and drinking ok - hopefully it will heal up soon.

Scritchies to Moon!

That is so great to hear that Moon is doing ok. I loved the names they gave her at the vet, talk about creative! :-D. Since you have the great news, I am sure you guys will have a wonderful weekend together!
