Cats paw has growth with white thick hair growing out of it?

Its on the back of his front riight leg halfway up. He is 4 years old, indoor cat I noticed him limping the last week or so. We looked closer and he has long black hair so its hard to see the growth. Its very easy to see the white hair growing out the growth, its thick like whiskers. He got quite upset when we felt around the growth, but he let us move the leg freely. Anyone know what this might be?

It could be an abcess that is not draining. These things always look like "bumps" under the cat's skin. They are painful when touched. Your kitty may have a wound in that area and it has festered. Best have it seen by the vet so he can check. If it IS an abcess, it has to be drained - a simple procedure really and will not cost you much really. The vet will "pop" the abcess, squeeze the pus out of it, clean up the wound and prescibe antibiotics for the kitty.
