My cat has a new, squishy bump on her spine. Should I worry?

Hi, my cat (6 years old) has a bump on her spine. It's new and it's round. It'a deep under the skin and it not anywhere near the surface (I cannot see it, only feel) it is squishy and does not hurt her but I am just concerned because it came on so fast and basically out of no where. The picture attached is picture of the size of it. I have to physically look for the bump, someone I have difficulty finding it but it is big and seems to move.

This lump needs to be checked and analysed as there are many conditions and types of tumors that could look like that. take her to the vet, they will perform a fine needle aspiration on the growth and send it to the lab for analysis. when the result comes, the vet will advise what needs to be done according to the diagnosis.
