I was playing with my cat and I noticed a small lump. A few days later, I noticed it had got bigger. It's on his tummy and I'm really worried. Does anyone know what it could be? Thanks for any help.

Quite often, a lump near the belly button is an umbilical hernia, which usually clears up on its own as they grow. If it doesn't, they might need a minor operation, but it’s always best to get it checked out by a vet. At that age, it’s unlikely to be anything too serious.
Hi there,
I’m not sure what was wrong with that kitten, or what might be going on with yours.
The best thing to do when you notice something worrying like this is to see a vet straight away. They’re the only ones who can put your mind at rest or give you a proper diagnosis and provide treatment if necessary.
Hi there,
It's impossible to tell what it might be without a physical examination. It could be an insect bite, or something more serious like an abscess or a hernia... As you mentioned that the lump is growing quite quickly, I’d recommend booking an emergency appointment with your vet.
Kind regards,
Marine
