    Blackish spots on nose?

    Cali is all white. So a couple of dark spots on her nose really stand out. Are these something we need to see the vet over? I tried to picture them but she's not real fond of me getting right in her face with the camera. They're on the right side of the bridge of her nose.

    Have they been there long? Are they changing at all? I'd just keep an eye on them, could be any number of things.

    Buddy has them too. My vet said nothing to worry about. They are like freckles, I think, is what he said. Do you have a closeup pic to show. I was trying to find one but I am so tired I need my bed. I can post one tomorrow.

    I managed to catch her napping on the cat tree with my supermacro function. I had to make the photo smaller to download here. I hope you can see the little black spots. The one on the right is more promninent than the left.

    I think I'd just wait to see if the spots change size and/or color. If so, then a vet visit would be in order. When I first rescued Coco Puff, he had a similar spot on his ear. I took him in to be neutered and the vet asked if I wanted the spot removed but since it would be an additional surgery and I was having a number of cats altered, it would've been too expensive so I refused. That was 5 1/2 years ago and now I can't even find the spot.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    It looks like it is sitting on top of a small bump. Do you feel a bump there?

    Could be just a blackhead...maybe have it checked out quickly at the vet.
