While grooming my long haired cat, I saw what, at first glance,
appeared to be a bloated tick. When I tried to remove it, I found it
is actually a growth on the skin. It's about a quarter inch in
diameter, raised, shiny, and black, as if it were a blood blister.

Any idea what it is?

Probably a wart or a growth. Keep an eye on it - if it continues to
grow or change, take kitty to the vet. Either way, next time you are
in, have the vet check it.
