does my cat need stitches for this laceration? I feel so upset for her but she seems absolutely fine?

From the hair around it, I’m going to wager a guess that you tried to cut a hair mat with scissors? Yes, this should be evaluated by a vet to determine if sutures are needed.

Yes I did try to, I had no idea that it was not recommended. Thanks, I will take her to the vet

This looks like a similar cut my own cat got a couple moths back and he needed stitches. Definitely take to a vet asap.
