A cat's front paw can become swollen due to an insect bite, a foreign body injury, nail overgrowth, sprains, fractures and dislocations, or lacerations. When a cat's paw is swollen, it is a major concern and should be looked at by a vet.

∙ 12y agoYou should take your cat to the vet check if there are any bites...
or it could be a tooth infection...My cat got bitten there and he's outside right now he meows furiously if i try to pick him up....:( His face is swollen too. So just take him/her to the vet to get it checked out. If its an outdoor cat then its probably a bite or tooth infection. Or it could be alleric to something.

How can you train cats not to scratch?
Cats have to scratch for their claws to stay healthy. Introduce them to a cat scratching post. Place the cat's feet on it as you hold the cat in an upright position and rub the feet on the post. Sometimes placing a toy or the scent of cat nip on the post will intice them more. Continue to encourage the cat to use the post. Eventually, it should get the hint.You don't want the cat to never have something to scratch. Their claws could become abnormally long or twisted and cause them and you problems. If your cat has a particular place he/she likes to scratch, then you could place the post in front of it and after a week or 2 put the post a little bit away from the spot. Continue that and eventually your cat will seek out the post on its own.

How do you care for swollen cat paw?
You should always be careful and take your cat to the vet, but if money is your issue then I suggest finding out the cause of why your cat's paw is swollen. I looked online and it had a lot of reasons and the number one (that also applied to my cat) was a possible bug bite or bee sting. Usually the swelling will subside within a day or so if it was stung by a bee. Spiders/scorpions bites usually cause irritation around or on the pad of cat's paws. [Cat's bat at bugs so more than likely, if it's an outside cat, this is the case.] There's also other reasons, I suggest going here: http://www.luvmycritters.com/Cat-Health-Swollen-Paw.html
