Cat nose is red and sides starting to open-up

Hi everyone,

My roommate's cat's nose has started turning a brownish color over the
last week, and today I noticed it's more read, puffy, and the top/sides
of his nose are starting to kinda open up. It's not bloody or pussy
from what I can tell, but it definitly isn't normal.

Suggestions? Touching his nose he doesn't act like it hurts and it
doesn't feel squishy.

suggestions? Thanks --

Yes, go to a vet. This Does Not Sound Good.

Hi karen,

I'll pass this along to my roommate as it's her cat.

Any type of growth or change like this would worry me that it's cancer. The
sooner she's seen the better.

Is your rommate's cat a pink-nosed kitty? Does he spend much time in the
sun?

I would be concerned that it is skin cancer, especially on the
light-colored noses. Check the inside of his ears, too, and tell your
roommate he needs to go to the vet right away.

Let us know what happens,

Rhonda
