Fatty tumor on my cat

I have a cat with a fatty tumor. Any home remedies or is it strictly a “must see” a vet? Will it keep growing?  How harmful are the tumors?

Thanks in advance.

    A fatty tumor or lipoma is completely benign and will not hurt you kitty in any way. BUT, without removing the tumor and looking at the cells it is impossible for even the vet to be 100% sure that it is just fatty tissue. For piece of mind, you might want to take her to the vet and let him/her look at it and decide if it should be removed/sent to a pathologist. If you are pretty sure it’s just fat and it’s not changing in size/shape, you might wait until your yearly visit and ask the vet then.

    Pau D’Arco (herb) and Diatomaceous Earth, food grade, both dissolve” fatty tumors”. Ihave two on my body and it takes a while but does work! Check with Earth Works.com on the D.E.,use it on my pets also.
