Sigh..yes you have to take your pet to the vet. You more than likely have an abscess starting and he needs medication.

I agree...this cat should see a vet. Cat bites are one of the most painful and also causes terrible infections. Trust me, seeing a vet now is going to be alot cheaper than seeing one later when infection sets in. Also, I am certain that the cat is in discomfort and I am sure you would not want that.
So good luck at the vets and let us know how he is doing after the visit.
