Two types of tumors:

The mushroomy one reminds me of the sebaceous epitheliomas Morney got. The vet removed two (on head and on abdomen) and Morney actually took one off her foot herself before it could be removed. Boy, was the bedding stained with blood after she did that, but she was right as rain and seemed very happy to no longer have it. We could not find it so she probably ate it.
The funny thing is that the formal removal from of the one on her head must have felt wet and cold to her because her head one was the tumor she most hated and ever since then she used to insist on sticking her head under the water tap regularly even though she never had done that before. She gave the impression that she considered it to be a beneficial thing to do.
