Do Cats Get Skin Tags As They Get Older?

[Draco]

Do cats get skin tags as they get older? I know dogs can get skin tags.

If they do, it's generally harmless right?

found one at the back of my cat's neck and was just curious.

If I recall right, they do.

How old is your cat? Mine had one starting in her late teens right in front of her ear. It never bothered her.

Just keep an eye on it if it gets too big or changes shape or color. If it does, have the vet do a biopsy just in case.

he's 9 years old. It's right above his collar at the back of his neck. I noticed it a few weeks ago. No change in size or anything, but of course I'll keep an eye on it
