If your cat has been in a fight with another cat, it is possible the swelling may be due to an abscess. This occurs when the wound becomes infected and filled with pus, and may require being drained by the vet. The soft tissue of your cat's paw could also be punctured by a foreign object such as a thorn. You may want to gently check the paw to see if there is a thorn or other sharp object there and try to gently remove it. Keep in mind, your cat may try to fight you because this can be very painful. It may require a trip to the vet to have the foreign object safely removed and the wound treated.
