Re: sarcoma? wart?
I had a wart on my index finger when I was a teenager. It was right in my cuticle line. It drove me crazy and I would pick at it to no avail. One day while in the shower I got so mad at it, that I just picked and picked and the strangest thing happened. I ripped the whole wart out! It had little roots. It bled a tiny bit, and it was just like the wart had never been there. Brand new skin underneath; couldn't even see where the roots had been. So weird.

Re: sarcoma? wart?
Fred also had a lump on the back of his upper neck, I had it removed and checked to be safe. It was pretty small, about the size of a big pimple. It was hard and the vet thought it would turn out to be nothing which it did, but she said it would have kept growing if we had left it. She also said it was possible it could come back, which it hasn't, that was about a year ago a little less ago. I don't remember what she called it, but it was basically a fatty tissue lump. It wasn't too expensive to remove and my vet is pretty expensive for the most part. -- Belinda Happiness is being owned by cats ...

Re: sarcoma? wart?
Jenn, My big male tuxedo cat Myca has had a sort of a wart thing on the top of his head for about 4 years now. It's very hard, and only involved in the top layer of skin. It's not gotten any bigger, and the vet confirmed that it's a wart-like growth when we first noticed it. She said that as long as it didn't change, to leave it alone. So I think your plan is a good one. I do have concerns about vaccine site reactions, andI remember you mentioning them to me before. My oldest girl Miss got an injection (not sure what) for a vaccine when we firstwas adopted byher years ago, and I didn't know any better thento question it, but thought it might be a reaction. But I noticed a few days later that she had a really awful, swollen red scabby place where she got the vaccine. It eventually healed, but ALL of the hair fell out at the site, and the scab came off with hair and all. She now has a bald, scarredspot on her scruff.I doexamine her very closely all the time for new lumps or bumps.She has a sort of a lumpy belly anyway, because she is a small cat and she had 5 huge kittens, so I think a lot of that is from her abdomen stretching so much. But I do always keep this in the back of my mind, and tend to vaccinate sparingly now.

Has anyone here had a cat with a sarcoma, or any form or skin tumor? Mythic has developed a hard lump on the side of his neck, kinda where his neck ties into his lower shoulder (no where near where any vaccines or injection should ever have been placed). I can pinch up the skin under it, and it's NOT involving any tissue under it, it's solely in the loose skin. It's darkened and about the size of a pencil eraser around, and about 1/8 inch thick. Does not seem to cause any pain when I roll it around under my finger and thumb. Do cats get warts? It looks like a wart. I will obviously take him to the vet if it doesn't go away in a month's time, or if it gets bigger or starts to ooze. For now, I'm hoping it will resolve on it's own (I need x-mas money for family, trying to avoid vet's office). I noticed it for the first time 4 or 5 days ago. Any ideas? This is the cat that is half bald, with severe skin allergies, which are really bad right now (cause I've been putting off his cortisone shot). Something else about him, anecdotally, he's begun to ask to go out to poop... in the snow. He goes to the door, poops, and then comes right back in, LOL! He's a cute guy, must have been an indoor/outdoor cat before. He's only begun to do this since it began to snow outside, he LIKES to poop in the snow.

Re: sarcoma? wart?
Gloria, I guess you are tough. On the hands, around the nails or on fingertips, and if they are big or deeper, I understand that they hurt. I had the one in my hairline frozen, and it only hurt afterward. The actual procedure didn't hurt, but it felt like a burn when it thawed, but it was pretty irritated to begin with. And Yes! Either duct tape if it will stick, or electrical tape, anything that is not porous and will stick really good. It works. And of course, if your wart is on your face or hands, then the tape method is harder to comply with. (Who wants to walk around with a piece of tape on them? But then again, who wants a wart?) Warts are viral, and either you have immunity or not. But even if you have immunity, I suppose if your immune system were compromised, then you could become more susceptible to warts. I believe that is why children get them more often than adults-their immature immune system is more susceptible, and they can go on to develop immunity later in life. Incidentally, it seems like I have seen more people with warts here in Houston than I ever have. Probably due to moisture and humidity. Just my thoughts.

Is that what you mean? Anyhow - I've had warts frozen off, and it didn't hurt a bit , to me. Gloria At 09:57 PM 11/24/2005, you wrote: I'm glad you have never had a wart~! You are lucky! My son has had a few, and I have had 2 in my lifetime, one on the leg as a child, and a flat wart in my hairline a long time ago. My son had to have his (on hands) cryo'ed off. That hurts. Warts tend to bleed a lot if irritated , because they develop almost a rootlike system and blood vessels that support them. Tip for humans! If you ever get a wart that you don't wish to have cryo'ed, try covering it by putting a piece of very sticky waterproof tape on it if you can. Change it once a day. Leave it on as much as possible. It will *smother* the wart, and deprive it of oxygen, and it will go away within two weeks if it's kept consistantly covered. Much less painful than cryoablation.

That's reassuring, I didn't realize cats got warts. To be honest, I really know nothing about warts in general. I know they grow on humans, but not why or what they are or anything. I guess that's a blessing in a way, I've never had one! :) I suppose I should google cat warts.

Re: sarcoma? wart?
I do think that cats get warts. They also get lympomas (fatty lumps) and my cat Patches has a lot of them. I would get it checked though. Michelle
