Why does my 6 month old kitten have swollen lips?
I noticed my kitten started having swollen lips on her mouth, about 4 days ago. & I looked underneath but on one side underneath her lip looks like tiny little bubbles that can be popped. But she plays rough w/our other kitten who is 5 months old. I have been watching her eating patterns. & she hasn't ate less or ate more. Just the same. She still drinks water & all the things a cat that is normal would do. I haven't noticed changes w/her. But it just looks like her lips jut out from her mouth rather than being flat & looking like a normal cat's mouth. Or is it that she is just growing up & supposed to look like this? Was wondering if there is a vet or vet's assistant who could tell me the possiblities. Thanks.

No cats mouths definitely are not supposed to look like this.
She could have something that could be highly contagious to your other cat. I would take your cat to the vet so you don't end up having 2 cats with the same problem (even more expensive!).
It is hard to say/diagnose without actually having a look ... better take kitty to the vet, before it becomes worse> better to be safe than sorry :)
