Bee sting?

I think my cat may have just been stung by a bee. I've seen them buzz
around (just one or two) and stuff and I think he swat at one and may
have been stung... he keeps licking at his paw. I just looked at it
and I see no stinger or anything.. should I be worried?

Okay update. Upon further inspection, it looks more like his paw is
cracked. It's not bleeding or anything... but he's still licking it
constantly. And its HOT. I dunno if its hot from him constantly
licking orrrrr if something's wrong... and it doesn't appear to be
swollen either. Any ideas?

Cats get infections too. Take him to the Vet. Good luck. MLB

If it's hot -- I'd get him to a vet. If it's infected you'd want to get
him on antibiotics right away.

Let us know what happens,

If it's hot, he needs to be seen by a vet ASAP. That can be a sign of
infection.
