Your veterinarian will palpate (feel) your cat’s body during her wellness exams to check for lumps and bumps that shouldn’t be there. But you don’t have to wait for a vet visit. Palpate your cat every time you brush her (which helps prevent hairballs in addition to improving blood circulation). Just feel with your hands as you go. If something doesn’t seem right, you can take her in before waiting several months for the next doctor’s visit.
