My cat suddenly has a pink bump on her bottom lip. She’s acting completely normal and still eating but I just want to see if this is something serious and if I should take her to the vet.

Hello. This is a mild allergic reaction to something. It may take a few days to a week to go down, but if it does not, or seems to be getting larger, please see your veterinarian. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
