My cat has a hard lump on her tail bone. Should I take her to the vet?

My cat haves a bump at the end of her tail. It feels like it is a bind in her bone. My other cat does not have this.

Poor Piper! It could be from an injury, or it could be a benign or malignant tumor. I would have her seen by a vet for this sometime over the next week. The vet can diagnose what is causing this bump, and can discuss if any treatment is needed.
