If your cat got bit or stung by an insect, the entire paw will likely swell up. It may feel warm to the touch and be painful and red. You will likely not see any wound or area to indicate it was a bite. Typically, the swelling will occur within hours of the sting happening.
You can monitor the swelling for a short period of time and see if it goes down on its own. A mild reaction should self-resolve. However, if your cat is acting lethargic, and has also developed hives, itching, or swelling elsewhere, you should take them to a veterinarian. If the swelling worsens or does not improve after 1–2 hours, you should contact your veterinarian.
