mysterious cat bump

[2eclipse]

yeah, so yesterday morning i found a lump on my cat's face.
it was on her lip on the right side and there was no cooresponding bump on the other side (not a place where teeth stuck out naturally).
so i made an appointment with the vet.
i thought it might be an absess or something, since i know cats get them.

the vet took a look at her.
she lifted up her lip and she POPPED the sucker.
madeleine had a blackhead the size of her nose.
i was amazed. i didn't know cats could get zits.
how undignified.
anyway, now she's all up to date on her shots, has had her ears cleaned, and is substantially less plagued by acne. :) i am amused.

Thank God it wasn't an abscess.

well yes, that would have been more serious...but absesses are still treatable with antibiotics.
what i'm really thankful for is that it wasn't cancer. *shudders*
