I used to have a cat who would play with spiders, get bitten on the paw and then proceed to limp around for the next few days melodramatically because of the small spider bite. It would leave next to no mark if we didn't catch it almost immediately. However, I know for a fact that I personally have had some spider bites that caused a great amount of pain and swelling. Is it possible she ate a spider and it bit her on the way down - something more venomous than your average house spider?

We don't really *get* spiders that venomous that far north, at least, I live in Maine and in general it's cold for any particularly scary bugs to survive, especially by this time of the year.


I do think it's possible your cat night have had an allergic reaction to something it consumed, though. Once you've ruled out abscess/infection I'm not sure what else it could be!
