help!! swelling on nose?

[cat mom 2020]

my cat escaped the room he is staying in (we have family over and their pets are over) and i think he got into a fight with the other cat. his nose is swelled up but i don’t see any cuts or anything. doesn’t seem to bother him, he’s still eating and playing a bit (he is older so doesn’t play much)

is this just from a fight and will it heal or do i need to be even more worried?

Keep an eye on the swelling, watch he isn't having trouble breathing. If there is no damage the swelling should go down in a day or so.

why would it have happened?

If his nose is swollen on the inside it might restrict the air flow but you would have noticed by now, just being cautious.

he is eating okay and playing and ate some catnip so seems okay?
