My Tiv is one and a half. She is a very clean (and pampered ) indoor cat. We have another cat, one-year-old Bama. Recently Tiv has developed a fat lower lip. It appears to have a white spot on the outside and a small canker sore looking abrasion on the inside of her lip. We have switched to ceramic bowls within the last 2 months, although neither seemed to have problems with the old plastic ones. The only change I can think of is a food switch. Once Bama turned 1, we started giving them Purina Indoor Cat Complete Formula (in the blue bag). We switched from Iams Kitten food and Iams Indoor food. Back in March Tiv had an obstruction, but it passed with a laxative (in case, by a long shot, this is relevant).

What could this be???
She let's me look at and touch the lip, so it can't be causing much pain and I haven't noticed any change in her attitude or habits.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
Tiv's Mommy
