Okay so it started out as a bump on her shoulder blade. It was small and we didn't think nothing of at first. Well then it started to get bigger and bigger and then a hole go in it and this gray hard stuff came out. Then it healed and then it got another hole and now this thing is coming out of it! It's really hard and has like layers and stuff.... I've NEVER seen anything like it before and I have had cats all my life...

I was told in the beginning that it was a tick but I have seen ticks before and it didn't look like one... so yeah I'm kinda freaked out. She doesn't like it touched either...

Answer 1

my chicken got the same thing on her breast... their is an infection on the inside of the cats body go to a vet to get it checked out

Answer 2

It looks a bit like an absess. It may well have been a tick. If the tick has gone, it would have left a hole. It could just be a bit infected. Cats get absesses all of the time.

Pop to the vets and get them to take a look. You may just need a short course of antibiotics.

Good luck. Hope it clears up soon.  

Answer 3

I have no idea wot this is but instead of askin for advice its only common sense to take the cat to the vet

Answer 4

It is hard to tell from the picture, but from your description it could be a sebaceous cyst. It could be an abscess, a skin cancer or many other things. Since none of us are vets it probably would be best to go to the vet and then you will know for sure.  

Answer 5

The picture is to blurry to be sure. Do you have a better camera?

It looks like a barnicle. I know it's not... but that's what it looks like in those pics.

It could be a bot fly, a huge infected pore, a tumor, cancer, or the biggest zit ever. No matter, a trip to the vet is definitely in order to take care of the matter.  

Answer 6

The pictures are too blurry to tell what it is.. It could be a bot fly... Which lay eggs in a would and larve hatch.... ?  I would take kitty to the vet and have her looked at....

Answer 7

I have no idea what it is. My best advise would be to go to the vet asap. Hope your cat gets better
