Although she is but ten weeks old, Jedi has developed a tumor on the inside of her left leg. When I first noticed the hairless patch, my initial thought was “Uh oh Ringworm.” But it wasn’t reactive to my blacklight. Then I thought it was an abscess as the kittens are doing a lot of tusseling lately. But, there is no heat and no noticeable bite near it. About three days into observing it, the lump split in half so off to the vet we went. She aspirated it and didn’t get any type of fluid (bad sign) So Jedi has been scheduled for surgery next week. Poor girl. My last hope was that perhaps the other cats had suckled her there (as they seemed to suckle her the most) and created the strange lump- but that turned out to be a bust. They will take it off and run it in for biopsy.

Most of what I am finding out is tumors on kittens are pretty doggone rare. So here is hoping that it is benign and nothing scary.
