Lump on gum?
Yesterday night I noticed that my cat had a reddish, swollen area on the
front of his lower jaw. If he had a lip, it would be on the center of his lower lip. It looks almost as if his tounge is hanging out slightly (but it isn't). It doesn't seem to be painful, because I gently touched it and he didn't seem to be in discomfort. He's scarfing his food down, so it doesn't seem to bother him to eat. He seems to be perfectly healthy otherwise. Any ideas? Should I take him to the vet now or should I wait a few days? I'm really worried.

I'm really worried. Eosinophilic granuloma complex. Tooth abscess. Tumor. If it doesn't resolve in a day or so, get him in to the vet. -L.
