what’s this black dot on my cat’s nose? should i worry?
Just noticed some tiny black dots on my cat's nose today. Is it something to be concerned about or just a quirky little spot? 🐱 #CatCare#VetAdvice#CuriousCat

I had a cat that had those under his chin. Took him to the vet to be checked. Turned out to be feline acne. Had to use acne cleansing on him and it went away. I had never heard of feline acne.

Cat acne Use only ceramic or metal bowls. Plastic breeds bacteria

It is called lentigo or cat freckles. Very common to ginger cats. They are often around the mouth and ears also

Cute orange cat freckles. Orange cat thing. Nothing to worry about, just a unique characteristic to love. They'll probably have little freckles on their lips & toe beans, too! 🐈😸

Can be nothing more serious than a freckle, can be completely the other extreme and be cancer. If it's new, always best to ask your vet and keep close monitoring of it.

My cat Sammie had those. The vet tried to treat her for a fungal infection. Turns out, it was cancer. cancer ate her whole face by the time we put her down.

Well everyone has a different theory so just go see your vet and find out. Better to be safe than sorry.

They are freckles. However, my vet said to keep an eye on them, they can turn to cancer, two of my gingers have them, on their noses, lips and eye lids
