It depends. You should call your local vet and ask about it. If your cat has Allergies to bee/wasp stings I would definatley take it to the vet soon as possible. If the vet on phone tells you its nothing then you shouldn't worry about it, but you can take it if you want just incase.

Like a human with a bad cold, they will then breathe through their mouths until the swelling recedes. They will not be able to smell anything, of course, until they can breathe through their noses again.

What would you see when you have been stung by a bee?
If you have been stung by a bee, you would see the barb (stinger) protruding from your skin and you should remove it as soon as possible to prevent any more venom from entering your body. You would also see a swelling in the region of the sting. However, if you have been stung by a wasp, the barb will have been withdrawn by the wasp and you will only see the swelling and a small pinprick hole.

What draws a wasp stinger out?
A wasp's stinger (or a bee's stinger for that matter), is actually called an ovipositor. It is a hollow and somewhat pointed tube used by the wasp or bee to lay eggs. However, it is also used as a 'defensive' weapon when the wasp or bee stings something or someone. There is a small venom sack attached to it. So, the wasp or bee has a choice on what to eject from the "stinger," either an egg, or venom, depending upon how the bee or wasp is using its "stinger."The stinger is usually at or near the rear of the insect. So, it is not in the mouth of the wasp or bee. When a person is stung, they are poked by the stinger, not bit.Since the "stinger" is actually designed to lay or deposit eggs, only female bees and wasps can sting. Male bees and wasps cannot sting because they have no stinger and cannot lay eggs. The stinger can vary in length, depending upon the wasp or bee species and may be quite small in some species, a few tenths' of a millimeter long, or may be quite long, over 10 centimeters, again, depending upon the wasp or bee species. Some wasps can sting, some cannot sting (or perhaps do not know to sting). However, I have been stung by wasps that are very small, 1 - 2 mm, and wasps that are large. And I have not been stung by larger wasps with very large stingers. So, the wasp's size is not a very good indicator of whether a wasp will sting or not.If the stinger is jagged or barbed, like a worker honey bee, the stinger is torn out of the bee when it stings someone, and thus kills the bee. When the stinger is smooth, like for many wasp species, the stinger does not pull out, and the wasp can sting as many times as it wants or feels the need to do.
How do you know if you are allergic to bee stings if you have not been stung?
You could be allergy tested by a physician, which would likely include testing for bee or wasp venom. Otherwise, until you are stung you won't know whether or not you are allergic. The good news is, allergies tend to worsen with repeated exposure, so the first sting is not likely to cause anaphylactic shock.
What are wasp and bee stings?
The self-defensive sinking of a stinger, with the resulting death of the bee, not the wasp, into skin defines a bee or a wasp sting.
