My outdoor cat has white cotton in her mouth. Should I be worried?

Question

Outdoor cat has white substance at the roof of her mouth. She's been eating and drinking normally. Looks like cotton/marshmallow. What is it? Do I need to be worried? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female

It could be that Peeta was chewing on a toy, and has the stuffing from the toy caught in the roof of her mouth. Without seeing it, I can't say what it is for sure, and while it's good that she is eating and drinking normally, I would take her into the vet tomorrow for an exam if it's still there.
