My cat has a kind of pimple under her belly, and it doesn't seem to hurt or bother her. But I'm still worried. She had something like it a few years ago, but I was wondering if anyone could help me find out what it is and if it's a problem?

Have you checked it is not a tick?
It could also be feline acne. You should call your vet tomorrow they would be able to assist her.
Good luck

As long as she just gets a few here and there, you have nothing to worry about. Pets, just like humans, get clogged pores and ingrown hairs. Try giving her an oatmeal bath... that may help. If she has very short and coarse or very long and wavy hair, it's probably ingrown. I have a Shar-Pei mix dog and she gets little pimples all the time. If it starts breaking out into a rash or getting really full of puss or inflamed, take her to the vet.

It could be a mole or dangerous growth. You'll probably want to take it to the vet to get it checked out, to make sure that it's not cancerous or anything. Good luck!

Cats can get feline acne. Your vet should have a medication that can clear it up.
