Cats do scratch. And cats scratch other cats. Because their nails are thin and sharp, a cat claw can penetrate into the skin and underlying tissues. Bacteria exists on cat's claws from its own feces and urine. When a cat scratches or gets scratched, the bacteria is pushed into the tissues. As bacteria colonize in one place, it makes an abscess-- a pocket of infection that forms under the skin. The outer skin can have a tiny scab or even look fine, but the infection is under the skin. So take the kitty to a Vet. Depending on the size of the abscess, the vet might drain it. Possibly the vet will give a shot of antibiotic, and definitely a prescription for liquid antibiotic. IF you give the cat all its medicine, it will be fine within 10 days. It can cost about $35 for the office visit and another $35 for the draining and medications. Note: Some vets used to write the prescription in the owner's name so the owner can get people pills to give to the cat (to save money); ask but your vet might not want to do this. But you can't let the kitty suffer-- it has to go to a vet now.
They might also be legitimately called tumors or growths, even if they're not cancerous. These words simply describe enlargements under or within the skin.
Your cat may have a bump because of the food it has been containg lately, or it could be the temprature in your house or outside. Nothing major.
Bumping of the head could mean your cat isn't seeing right or could be a sign of illness, I would get a vet to look at him/her
The kids heard a bump as they watched the Cat in the Hat balance a bunch of household items.
"Bump the cat" appears in Stephen King's novel "Bag of Bones." The character is a key part of the story and serves as a catalyst for the protagonist's actions.
It depends on your vet and why your cat would be in. You'll have to ask your vet.
A small bump on the throat of a cat could be a number of things. This could be a lypoma, it could be some type of infected injury, or it could be a tumor.
It could be an abscess, an allergic reaction, or even a cancerous growth. You should take your cat to the vet immediately.
Yes. Although the cat may bump into a few things first, they can survive If kept indoors and everything they need Is left where they will remember it.

Cat whiskers are so they don't bump into things. They let the cat know if the rest of their body will fit into a place so they won't get stuck.
