Little Cat Feet

Shaggy and his littermate brother Scooby came to live with us in October 2005, when they were 5 years old. Scout arrived in 2006 at the age of 6 weeks. Scooby passed over very suddenly to the Rainbow Bridge on April 1, 2012 and is remembered fondly and missed deeply.

Scooby Has A Lump


Scooby has a rather large lump (an inch across) under the skin on his left hip.
It's somewhat solid feeling, but not totally and I am able to shift it a little back and forth with my fingers.
I just discovered it a couple days ago.
He doesn't indicate any pain with it. Doesn't look like an abscess. He still jumps up & down from the bed and chairs although in the past several months he has been moving slower when walking or going down into his catloaf position. I was thinking he maybe has a touch of arthritis. But as you all know, lumps are worrysome.
We have an appointment with Dr. Rich tomorrow morning, so keep him in your thoughts and purrs.

Oh we are sorry Scooby has a lump there. Has he had any shots lately? Gus has something very similar sounding and it turns out it was just an injection site reaction - they can last like 6 - 8 weeks and don't always show up right away. Barney got one a few days after his annual shot this time too, but I didn't notice Gus til probably 2 weeks after the shot. We hope that he will be ok and that it is nothing serious (if no injection lately, maybe a fatty deposit or something simple). We will send lots of purrs and prayers for a good answer!

We are purraying furry hard for Scooby, that it's nothing. King has one, mom took him to the vet years back, and they told her it was a fatty deposit. So, let's hope that's all Scooby's is!

We will purr hard that it is nothing to worry about or something that can easily be fixed.

Paws crossed that it's just something like a lipoma. Hank the Dog had lots of those. He was lumpy, but fine...
