My cat has a small lump on her lip. Should I worry or get it checked?

Hi! My cat has a tiny lump on the edge of her mouth. It doesn’t seem to hurt her and look benign but we aren’t sure if we should get her checked. Does this look like something normal or should we go get it checked?

I would continue to monitor closely over the next 3-4weeks (take weekly pictures to compare); it looks quite benign and is unlikely to be anything sinister in such a young kitten but any redness, increase in size or discomfort should be checked by your vet as soon as possible
