    Yo. My cats, which I have had for about ten years and has been really healthy, has been starting to develop these lumps near the base of her front leg. They are in a cluster and relatively small, save for a few. They tend to get a bit bigger each day. My roommate says that they're calcium lumps, but I think otherwise.

    Hello Nex,

    There could be many causes for this kind of condition to develop and only a vet can diagnose the condition after examination and tests.

    There is a comprehensive list of caues of lumps which may develop on a cat, some which are easy to treat and others which are more serious.

    To read this list, please go to::

    Causes of Solid-Appearing Lumps & Bumps on the Skin in Cats

    Don't get too alarmed until you know what the cause of these lumps are, but get her to a vet as soon as possible.

    The more quick the condition is diagnosed the sooner treatment can start.

    Good luck and good health to your cat.

    Please let us know the results.

    Thanks.

    Cy

    I hope you have taken your cat to the vet for a fine needle aspirate of said lumps. Rapidly growing growths are scary but hopefully, it is just a lipoma (fatty growth).
