    Looks like a wart...the vet will likely know. Hugs and kisses to that pretty girl!

    Wow! Do cats have warts?

    In fact, it resembles the fibroma I had removed from my skin last year...

    Yes - it does look like a wart. Myndi has one that's a wart, and in just about the same place too. Her vet say it's nothing to worry about, and older pets tend to get them. How old is Luna?
    Fingers and paws crossed that it's nothing at all. Try not to worry.

    I hope you're right and it's just a wart! Luna is 9 years old. And she's hardly leaving my side lately, in fact, she's lying in my arm while I'm typing here. She's always with me now, but that could be because she feels I'm not well. Luna and I are so very close!!

    My guess is wart or benign cyst. From what I understand the ones to be worried about generally grow UNDER the skin.

    Luna, you'll be fine! Meowmie will make sure! The vet should put you at ease, Kirsten. Good Luck!

    I hope it is something as benign as a wart or skin tag! Please let us know. Meanwhile, kisses to the girls.

    Kirsten, I hope it's just a wart. I have a feeling it's nothing serious.

    Give Luna a kiss from me - and Lily too! Fister sends headbumpies.
