  • Ouch. Poor little guy. That’s a lot to go through. I don’t think it’s wasting time to check up with a vet - especially if it’s seemingly a source of pain or an area he’s over grooming or scratching.

    Of course, that’s as long as you’re prepared to pay the fees, accepting the risk to find that he’s just a bit chubbier in that area - but I still think the “it hurts him and he tries to run away” suggests it’s worth checking out if you’re able to.


  • Not necessarily the case here, and both sides makes me think it’s not, but when you mentioned the cat had a recent injury here, it made me suspect an infection and an abscess - if only because I’ve dealt with one recently.

    One of our cats had this from a cat bite wound. A swelling, sort of ball shaped, soft, but the cat says “ow!” If you touch it.

    In our case, that cat had a fairly intense scratch and the abscess burst all over the floor (thankfully in a room with easily wipable tiles). This was followed up with a vet visit for antibiotics and painkillers.

    The “both sides” and the amount if time between April and now makes me think it’s not that, but still might be one to add to the possibilities list.




  • I’m not 100% sure on the accuracy of this data, but if ever there was a place to paste this information, it is here.

    Average Tiddy weight per boob by cup size, in Metric and Lemmy scales

    A cup = 0.454kg = 1.1 Tins of Heinz Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce

    B cup = 0.78kg =1.9 Tins of Heinz Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce

    C cup = 1.023kg = 2.4 Tins of Heinz Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce

    D cup = 1.388kg = 3.3 Tins of Heinz Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce

    E cup = 1.950kg = 4.6 Tins of Heinz Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce

    F cup = 2.35kg = 5.6 Tins of Heinz Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce

    [Edit] I’m not sure if this is per boob, or per pair of boobs. More research required.
