I was petting Kuro this evening, and found a tough spot on his neck. At first I thought it was a bit of food stuck in his fur and almost decided to pick it out, but thankfully I searched closer and discovered this! I have NO clue how or why he got this. It's bright pink, however it doesn't seem to bother him. What should I do????? Btw, it doesn't show through his fur and he's a short haired cat.

Do you have other cats? Maybe they accidentally snagged him with a claw, he had a small cyst and it ruptured?

Kuro is the only cat I have. This is my first discovery of any lumps or odd feelings during petting sessions- I'm not sure he had a cyst.

I would take him to the vet.  It could be allergies, or a fungal infection, some other skin irritation.  Better to have it checked out!
