Hi guys.
I'd just like to say first off that I am taking him to a vet, but it won't be until this friday. This thread is more for peace of mind.
I've noticed last night that my cat has a golf ball sized lump on his back right thigh. He doesn't seem to mind me poking / feeling it but his general attitude is definitely more dull. He's also sitting awkwardly and lying only on his left side. He's an active cat and generally a dick to his brother, so the possibility that he fucked off the neighbor's cat is definitely there.
I've looked over the lump and can't see any bite marks or scratches, nor does any fur look patchy / out of place.
Ultimately, what I'm asking is "Should I be freaking the fuck out?" (rushing him to vet now)
Is this likely to be something fatal (in regards to the vet saying "We can't fix it, and he's going to have trouble for the rest of his life") or is it just going to be some sort of bacterial infection that a few pills would fix up?
Pic may not be the best but shows the lump.

I forgot to mention that he's 13 years old, if that helps.
I can also post more pictures / better angles if needed.

Not too out of the ordinary for an older cat. They get benign tumors. Unless iy gets so big it's difficult for him to walk there's no problem but you should take him to a vet just to confirm it's benign.

Most of the time it's cancer, sorry :/
