My wife just discovered our male cat has an enlarged throat if you're looking under his mouth. It almost appears something large is there because of the size but we're not sure. He is an outside cat. Any thoughts on what could be wrong or things I can do to figure it out from home tonight and save the vet trip if its something minor?

The side of his mouth is also swollen. He's eating and he's letting us touch him.

You may not want to hear this, but my suggestion is take him to a vet. Only he can see your cat and examine it.

That's actually the plan tomorrow AM. Things always happen when the VET is not at the office. Have you ever noticed that
? I just wanted to see if it's common or not. Our guess is maybe a bite from another animal (snake maybe).
