Hmmm... just checked out her gums and they looks fine. No swelling or discoloration. All the swelling is on her lip. And if I didn't know better, the swelling is worse.

Its possible it was a spider bite or something. She's a big bug hunter, more so than Harry. We have a few "stinkbugs" and of course spiders. I didn't think stinkbugs bit, and I do know the cats chase them but won't do anything but bat at them - they must taste awful.

If its a bugbite, would it hurt to apply some topical Benadryl? I have some for Nicki since she's allergic to bug bites. I don't know if Benadryl is harmful to cats. And if its not a bug bite, could the Benadryl cause any harm? Sometimes you can apply a cream and it not work, but it won't hurt either... is Benadryl one of those things?
