Thank you for your follow-up. There are at least three courses of action for you.
1. Discuss with your parents as to why they object to the surgery. Is it due to religious reasons or due to the surgery being a waste of money since this is not your cat? Much depends on whether you are a good negotiator. Negotiating skills are not inherited - young adults in Singapore seldom have such skills, in my opinion. Read books on this subject. as the library has many. I hope you can acquire such skills early.
2. Ask your friend to bring the cat to a vet for surgery and adopt the cat. I presume it is a stray cat that is unfortunate to get an abnormal lump.
3. Do nothing till the cat falls sick when the growth is very large, rubs against the floor. Friction causes open wounds. Wounds get badly infected with maggots or bacteria and becomes very smelly. Maybe your parents have no objections at that time. Or the cat needs to be put to sleep due to ill health and pain.
It is extremely hard to diagnose over the internet or to see pictures. Therefore I will not hazard on the nature of the growth - tumour, encapsulated abscess, cysts, haemotoma, hernia and other conditions.

Hi Mr.Sing
I am not able to bring the cat for surgery as my parents are against the idea even though I am willing to pay for the surgical fees. Nonetheless, I would like to thank you for the detailed information on the tumour/hernia. The cat is constantly under my supervision and she is in a good shape.
I have a distant cousin from Malaysia and he is a vet too. He examine the cat and touched the area of the tumour. He said that it feels lumpy and it is as if there is water inside. He's not really to sure either. He said that I should bring in for surgery.
If you could advise on this matter, I would be grateful.
Many thanks,

Pic shows a big tumour or inguinal hernia. Cannot tell from viewing pic. Tumours are found in middle to old aged animals. Cause of breast tumour in cats unknown. Continue with existing feeding as the cat may not eat if you change brand. Change later. No food and water after 10 pm the night before surgery and on day of sugery. Bring in the cat at 9 am if possible. Last week of Sep OK if cat is not in pain.

Hi Mr. Sing
Attached for your reference.
Yes, it's a female cat. I'm not sure about the age of the cat, though.
I will try to bring her for the operation asap.
What's the cause of the breast tumours? Is it deadly?
In the meantime, what are the recommended food should I give her? I've been
giving her Whiskas all these while but I heard from a friend of mine, who
is a cat lover herself, that Whiskas are considered fast food for cats. Is
it true? She told me to buy the can food, Fussies for Cats. However, I have
not feed her with that yet.
What are the procedures to take before I bring her for the operation?
Will the last week of September be okay?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Many thanks.
Regards,
