I was petting my cat the other day and noticed that he had these 2 hard lumps on his stomache. I have no idea what they are, but they have only been there maybe for maybe a week. What can this be?

If they are bigger then small nubs (nipples) they could just be fatty tissue, but they could also be small tumors. Take your cat to the vet. He will perform some tests or just feel the area, and if he feels it's serious he may operate. My dog underwent this operation (turned out to be fatty tissue, but it was growing larger so it was just as well it was removed) and it is a simple procedure. No overnight stay was required.

I agree with old cat lady, its probably something with his nipples, perhaps infections. Usually tumors dont come in a week and get noticable in size. Although you did not describe how big these lumps were, if you care about your cat its always a good idea to take him to the vet. Just to be on the safe side.

take him to the vet asap. If there is something wrong, the sooner the treatment begins the better, and if not, at least you know the cat's alright!

I don't think this is a Y!A question. I don't think even your vet could answer this one over the phone. Better take him in to be safe.

Are you particular they do no longer seem to be basically her "kitty nipples"? There could be from six to eight, lined up like human beings' on her tummy. they might desire to be formed like.. properly, like the right of a "sippy cup." desire this helped.

Could be tumors or cysts. Take it to the vet and have it checked out.

Were you feeling his nipples? All mammals of both sexes have teats.

I'm not sure that it can be good. Please take your cat to the vet.
