Hi

My cat has these scabby bumbs on the back of her neck, almost like a zit. If you pick at it a scab will come off (ew! I know its gross). There's no bleeding and if anything they seem itchy. Any ideas?

PS She's an indoor cat.

it could be a kind of fungus. my cat had that when we first brought him in.

you need to take her to the vet to get it treated, better sooner so it can be diagnosed and won't spread to other parts of the body.

Indoor cats can sometimes get fleas or mites despite them being indoor, try a good all round flea killer or a flea collar and if it gets worse or doesnt clear up take her to a vet
