Hi, I have a kitten who is about 7 months old. Two days ago he was perfectly fine and then yesterday morning all of a sudden there was this huge bump on the back of his head. We recently got him a new cat condo thing (It's 6 feet tall) so our guess is that he fell off/bumped his head trying to jump to the top level. The bump looks and feels exactly like a "goose egg" that a human gets when we bump our heads real hard. My question is, is this normal in cats? My mom has had a lot of animals and said she's never seen a cat get a bump like that. My roommates and I are trying to decide if it's necessary to spend the money to take him to the vet. He is acting completely normal and the bump doesn't even seem to hurt; he lets us touch it. So overall I wouldn't be too worried except for the fact that I just don't know if it's normal. Does anyone have any experience with this?
