Help! Lump in cats abdomen

When rubbing my cats belly I felt a largish hard lump. My first though
is that he has cancer. Is there anything else this could be, anything
not horribly bad?

A fat pocket. My cat had one that felt like a hard boiled egg. The vet told me
it was just fat. I was relieved.

Only a vet would know for sure.

Vet time. It might be it's supposed to be there (organs can feel a bit
frightening) but if it isn't the vet is the best place to go. It may NOT be
a bad thing but if it is the sooner you find out the better.

Yes, of course. We have an appointment for this evening - but that
still gives me several hours to worry.

Cheeks had a fat pocket on her back that worried the hell out of me. Vet
shrugged and said "it's probably a little fatty deposit. Let us know if it
doesn't go away." Hers went away. I hope your cat's does.

Hi Jane,
I found a lump on my last cat's chest which the vet biopsied and it was found
to just be a benign cyst. So try not to worry until your kitty has been to the
vet, although I know that's easier said than done.
