My senior cat has a skin tag-like lump on her anus. What is it?

Question

What is this skin-tag looking cyst on my cats anus? It is moveable and does not seem to bother her when it is touched. She is an 11 yo indoor calico with no other health concerns. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 10 years and 10 months old | 12 lbs

It looks like a benign cyst. I cannot be 100% sure though just by looking at a photo. I just suggest you monitor it for any major changes - like it gets much larger or changes in color - and if you notice that then have your vet check it.
