My cat has a new lump on her foot; could it be from a mouse bite?

Can you help with a lump on my cats foot, only noticed today but coincides with finding a mouse I know she was looking for. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 5 years and 11 months old

Hello. In cats, pretty much all lumps are going to be bite abscesses from other cats until proven otherwise. Is Suki limping or favoring the paw? If so, she should see a veterinarian & started on some antibiotics. I hope Suki is doing well soon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
