My cat has a fatty lump that's grown bigger and firmer. Is it cancer?

Question

Hello, I am really worried about my female feline Jeepers. She is a plump kitty and had a common fatty lump, confirmed by her vet in the past. This lump has been located on her undercarriage lower level nearby her right back leg. I was petting her and felt that it had become bigger and a little more firm. I pushed on it and she shows no signs of discomfort or pain. Could this be cancer? I'm so worried. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Longhair | Female | spayed | 3 years and 4 months old | 12 lbs

Lipomas are benign but they can grow larger. It's recommended to have them removed surgically if they start bothering the cat, get really big, and/or impede their movement. Since this lump is getting bigger, I'd take Jeepers back into the vet to have it checked out. Best of luck.
