Hello,
My kittie has a small pimple like blister on her lip. The poor thing looks like she is sticking out her tounge a bit, all the time. I just noticed it two days ago...does anyone have any clue at what this might be.

I'd get a vet assessment - it's possible its eosinophilic granuloma complex..aka rodent ulcer. Here's a link on this: Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex

The pictures are not the prettiest, but your description reminds me of the pix of the swollen lower pink lip that they show (and which has happened to two of my cats).

I have to agree. Definitely get this checked by a vet, as early treatment (usually a cortisone shot) can "nip this in the bud". My cat had the same thing a little over a year and a half ago. The cause was never determined, though it's usually an allergy reaction.

And to TCS!
