My cat has a soft, growing bump on her eye. What could it be?

My cat has a bump on her eye and I’m not sure what it is. It’s firm but also soft and has gotten bigger over time. She doesn’t seem to be in pain or bothered by it though.

Based on the location, this could be a blocked tear duct. It could also be a cyst or a growth. Do not squeeze it. Have her seen by a vet on Monday to have it treated since it has gotten bigger over time. Best of luck.
