Cat lump near/on spay site? Scar tissue?

[Moonlight_wolf]

Hey, For a little while now I've been noticing a lump of sorts on my kitten's belly. I would have thought it was a muscle if it was symmetrical on both sides of her belly. When she was healing from her spay I remember her having kind of a lump on her incision site, the vet wasn't concerned when He checked her back then, but now whenever I pet her belly (she's a rare cat that actually likes it) I'll feel the lump and I feel like it could be scar tissue but my anxious brain is like "But what if it's not and you don't bring her to the vet soon enough?"

And I have brought my cats to the vet for every little thing I am pretty sure the vet thinks I'm crazy already. Are scars near or on an incision site common for cats? What do they generally feel like?

Can you take a photo of it? You can either post it here or email your vet.

The article above says when to contact your vet.

So it turns out I don’t think she has a tumor because apparently I can only feel whatever I’m feeling when she’s laying down so it probably is a muscle or internal organ that I’ve just never felt on my other cat because my other cat hates her belly being touched especially when she’s laying down. Because I tried to feel it again today when she was standing up and I couldn’t

It's possible that it's built up scar tissue from the spay and will resolve on its own.
