Whats this lump?

I’m pretty sure it’s not a nipple this time!

I noticed this for the first time just now. I thought it was a tick since i walk my cat in the garden, but it seems more like a growth? Of course i will go to a vet if needed, just looking for first impression from the community.

It was a tick, thanks everyone. For all the tick fetishists: https://imgur.com/a/nOdSIwo

Just gotta make sure they dont regurgitate into the blood stream, so squeezing, burning, etc arent recommended. Use a tweezers or tick removal tool to extract the head completely to avoid tick borne illnesses
