Cat has knot above shoulder

I just noticed a knot right above my 8 year old cat's left shoulder. It's small about the size of a small gum ball. Should I be worried? She acts just fine and has always been very healthy and has been an indoor cat all her life. We have one other young male cat who likes to pick fights with her sometimes, but nothing serious. Should I have a vet check it out? I just don't want to incur major fees for nothing.

    I would have the vet check it out with the next annual or semi annual exam. If the lump gets bigger or changes in any way(firmness, texture, color size, painful) then I would take to the vet ASAP. Otherwise you can watch it and watch the cat as well for any changes( lethargy, stop eating, stop drinking, abnormal behaviors). Hope this helps. Please dont forget to rate my answer. AMY

    No problem you are very welcome. Hopefully all will be fine and at the next exam they will tell you it is nothing to be worried about. Happy Holidays. AMY
