One of my cats has a lump on his back, and it is bleeding very badly. The lump is now 2 inches large. I'm wondering what it is and if it is contagious. I am guessing that it is just a tumor, but I would like second opinions. What else could it be? I'm going to have to take him to the vet though. (My cat is very old by the way.)

Or maybe it's 1 and a half inches... I don't know. I don't try to look at it much since it's nasty looking.

"Just a tumor" as in that's the only problem it could be. I'm not saying it's not serious. It's obviously a serious problem.

I had a cat have the same thing, it was a liver problem and he had loss of hair on his spot and it was bleeding, we took him to the vet and had him put to sleep becuase he was in pain and we could tell. It wasn't easy but it helped him a bunch. I hope i could help you, great luck with him! Please inform me how it goes!

What do you mean "just a tumor"? Isn't that really bad? Anyway, i suggest you go to the vet ASAP as if it continues to bleed badly you cat could die due to loss of blood or it could get seriously infected as it is an open wound.

I have three cats, and one of my cats had an abscess on his neck. We were told by the vet that when the cats play with each other, they can scratch each other and spread bacteria. I would definitely take him to the vet.

take him to the vet immediately! one of my girlfriends cat had a large lump on her belly and it turned out to be cancerous. luckily, she took her to the vet right away and got it removed. she is now healthy and living a happy life. i hope its not to late for your cat. good luck!

It sounds like that cat should be seen by a VET right away; I hope you don’t wait long. You should find a VET that’s open late, like an emergency VET clinic.

Just a tumor? sweety, tumors can be deadly. It can be cancer. It can be a whole list of things. Go to the vet A.S.A.P. Things that get found quickly have MANY REMEDIES. Good luck to you & ur kitty.

Well.....lets see...my dog had one but ,the doctor said it was just something called a heat spot ,cause by eating alot and just being old and not moving around much.I`m sure cats can have them too.
