I discovered it now, it can't have been there for long, so it grew fast, unless it has attached itself onto the cat. Any idea what this is? I wasn't able to capture it but at the stem this "corn" is dark. She's 1.5 years old, neutered, no health problems before.

It's squishy and feels like +50% fluid.

It kinda looks like a tick, here is picture for reference. Does the one on your cat have little legs? Or what looks like the remnants of little legs?

When I took a second look at your photos blown up, I think I can see what might be a black leg. It blends with the black fur but it's thicker.

I got the whole thing out alive with mouth and all. I've never hurt insects etc. and any spiders I find inside I gently put them outside, but this little ****er is about to die.

I'm not sure if you live in an area with a high volume tick born illnesses, but keep an eye on kitty for any adverse symptoms. I would also call the vet and ask what to watch for and if they want the tick for testing.
