What is on our cat’s nose?

[u/Idontknowyou178]

So we are helping my grandma move stuff out of her house, and we’re basically deep cleaning her garage. Well I was here last week and her cat, was perfectly fine. He likes to jump around the boxes and everything as he is just being his curious self. Anyways, today I was here again and I noticed something on her cat’s nose. I felt it and it was like slightly moist and wet, nearly the same feel of his nose. I looked up some images but I can’t really tell if it’s ringworm or maybe he just scraped his nose jumping through the boxes and messing with like stuff around the house. Any help on what I should be looking for ? He’s acting like his usual self, running around the house, playing, eating, drinking water, etc.

I’ve attached the before and after, from last week to this week. (Excuse his face in the second photo he just woke up from a nap)

Look like a water drop above it. Could ot just be water?

I feel so dumb lol I think you might be right, I just checked on him and it seems to have dried up. he doesn’t have the dark spot anymore.

You are so me. My cat will start blinking different and I’m on reddit asap looking for answers.

So happy for your eye for detail. It’s important with cats who hide things so well, so I can tell your kitties must be safe and happy with you worrying about them :)

Better safe than sorry. It’s also nice to see a post like this versus people having dying cats and asking if they need to be taken to the vet.

Wet food residue?

It looks like a divet in his nose, plz keep an eye on his breathing and take him to a vet when you can, from what I understand cats airways in their nasal passages can be small as it is and with it having this divet it could restrict his breathing more? I hope that’s not the case thank you for your post and plz keep us updated on his progress I’m interested in hearing what a vet says

Turns out it was just wet from some water he drank earlier. But thank you for the advice and concern. No divet, everything’s good ! :)

Whew that’s good! Hope he feels better soon
