Can cats have allergies with sneezing?

My 1-1/2 year old cat just had his rabies and distemper shots. I now feel a small, pea sized lump (possibly two) near the first injection site. Could he have developed a tumor as a reaction to the shot? Is this serious requiring medical attention, or will it go away on its own? How concerned should I be? He had his first round of shots a year ago, just before I adopted him, so I don't know if he had a reaction then too.

Can cats have allergies to fleas?

We have two 3 year old indoor cats and we moved into a house last summer where the previous owner had 2 indoor/outdoor male cats who had urinated all over the house. We removed all the carpet from the main floor, but only had the carpets steam-cleaned in the basement. Is there any chance of our cats "picking up" something from the previous cats? I haven't noticed any signs of fleas/worms, but are there other things that can linger in carpets, etc. after the previous cats are gone?

Are cats allergic to bee stings?

Have you ever noticed hair or debris in your cats eyes and wondered how to remove it safely? You can use saline solution for contact lens wearers to safely flush her eyes. Saline solution is very similar to tears and is much less irritating than water.
