Hi! I'm not sure this question should be in "health forum" since it probably doesn't need medical attention (I hope). Please move it to a proper area if needed
My 2-year-old female DSH cat has soft lumps/bumps on her lower lip/gum area.
I noticed it when I started to brush her teeth last year. We've been to vets (not for this matter) but I always forgot to ask about this! She has a pair of these, one on the right, one on the left, right behind where the upper canine teeth fall. They don't look sore or anything, and I've seen no change in color, shape or size.
I googled with words like "cat yawn" and see some cats have these.

Also I found somebody had the same question (posted on a human baby forum).

In the last post, the poster's vet described them as "soft callus" but I guess it's just a general description and not the name.
It looks like not all the cats have these. My other cat (5 months old female DSH) doesn't have these (yet?). How about your kitties? Is there a proper name for these bumps?
