What is this weird thing growing on my cats skin?

It%26#039;s this weird little thing.. it%26#039;s a tiy little red spot.. aobut the sizer of a small pea maybe. Irregular shaped. and in the center is this hard little thing. it kind of feels like human fingernail.. maybe a tiny bit softer.. it%26#039;s whitish yellow in color.. it kind of feels like if you picked at it really hard it might come off but not without hurting.. maybe not though. It kind of looks like a big thick sliver like thing.. but it%26#039;s not.. it is growing out.





I have no clue what this could be.. any ideas?|||Hi there...wollam43%26#039;s guess is most likely correct. This sounds like it could be dermatophytosis (ringworm), which is contagious to humans and pets:

Ringworm is a very overwhelming difficult to control and cats need to be isolated away from other pets and anyone handling the infected cat needs to wash their hands thoroughly and the home will need to be diligently cleansed to prevent the spread of infection to pets and humans.|||Take your pet to the vet to see if he could tell you. it might be an infection, so ask the vet.|||what the hell i wrong with you take that cat to the ******* vet|||First off, take your cat to a vet. Only he/she will be able to tell you what it really is.





There are many things it could be.


Cyst, absess, growth, tick, skin problems, etc.





Again, take the cat to the vet and have it checked out by a professional.|||sounds like a tumor, call your vet|||Take the cat to a vet. It sounds like it could be a fungal infection and it may be passed on to people. Whatever it is, don%26#039;t mess with it. Find out EXACTLY what it is and treat it accordingly. And DON%26#039;T touch it or pick at it in the meantime. Keep the cat away from anything that touches your skin like sheets and pillows.|||You need to take your cat to the vet, pronto.


It might be a tick or a louse or something, but you just need to take your cat to the vet.|||Call your veterinarian...she/her will be able to tell you or may request you to come in...either way,...ask what the office visit will be???... good luck!!|||It%26#039;s a cyst.


Call your Vet and make an appointment.
