looks like your kitten might of gotten into a fight. My cat last year about this time had a swollen leg. The vet said that he probably was fighting with a cat that had a virus so when he was bit his leg was swollen. Go to your vet, is your cat and indoor or outdoor cat. If he has been outside without you watching that could be the reason.

kittens alot of times get something called a Worbol, I think thats how you spell it, anyways its like a worm that buries itself usually in the kittens neck, you can either cut it out yourself, pay a vet, but Im pretty sure that it wont harm the cat and it leaves that cat it wont stay there forever

It sounds as if she has an abcess which needs to be drained by the vet. You may not have her on the appropriate antibiotic, and you don't want her to develop resistance to it, so consult your vet asap.

Keep in touch with your vet. They know best.
Have you noticed your cat showing signs of pain?
When you visit the vet... be thorough in explaining your observations. You're the cat's best advocate.

no don't wait to go see a vet. she is to young. this bump could be a sign of feline lukemia or it could be cancer. don't leave this unatended if it is lukemia or cancer anitbotics wont work and her days could be numbered
