Do male cats have a lump near their penis?

Post by GeorgesDad »

Hi, I'm a little concerned over my cat but not sure if its something a completely normal part of his anatomy or something I need to go to the vets for.

He has a lump directly behind his penis, on his underneath not between his penis and anus.

Its about 2-3cm, flesh coloured, directly centre between his legs. It's not hard, it feels spongey and he doesn't seem in any pain when I move it.

I can't for the life of me remember if I've noticed this before or not. Its only because its directly middle of his body and a perfect shape that I'm thinking it could just be a normal male cat thing.

Is this a normal part of his anatomy?

Thanks

It is not something I have ever really noticed - perhaps a photo might help?

I'll try to get one.

Its just that its normal colour, exactly in the middle of his body (between in his legs) inline with his penis and no distinctive shape (has no clear edge) thats making me think its just part of a normal body and I'm worrying for nothing.
