Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2004Q: stripe on nose?
This is a strange thing I've observed on Frank now and then. As most of you probably know, Frank has a pink nose. Every now and then, a stripe along the top of the pink appears. It's a brownish stripe. Sometimes it's only a pin-stripe, barely perceptible to a worried Meowmie's eyes, but the other day it was thick (about half a millimetre (0.02 inches?)). Sometimes there is no stripe at all. I'm wondering what it can be. The first thing that came to mind was some sort of blood clot that gathers at the top of his nose. When he had the thick stripe, I rubbed his nose and a while later the stripe was gone. It wasn't some smut *on* his nose, it was under the skin. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? I think it's time to make an appointment with TED. It's about time for Frank to have a thorough check-up. After all, he will be 17 in November. I just wanted to check if anyone here had any similar experiences.

I wonder if it's related to blood pressure or some other variable. Does it seem to appear only when he's active, or sleeping too? It could be just one of those things that appears on older cats, too. Cherokee had black flecks in the colored parts of his eyes, and I fretted about them. The vet said they were nothing to worry about, and only appear in cats whose ages are double digits. Let us know what TED says. Sherry "Sherry " <sriddles@aol.comkitty> wrote > > I've never heard of that, Marina, but it's odd especially that it disappears > and returns.

Blood pressure was another thing I thought of, too. It's so weird. Thanks for taking my question seriously, though. Now I don't feel so stupid asking the vet about it.

I tried to take pics today when the brownish stripe was showing again, but they came out too fuzzy (hehee, in more ways than one).

Oh, don't feel stupid at all. Especially with a senior citizen cats. Even very subtle things can be good indicators that something might need attention. The reason I wondered about BP is that my neck used to get red when myBP went up. > This is a strange thing I've observed on Frank now and then. As most of you > probably know, Frank has a pink nose.

I have never heard of that before, but I have not had any pinked nosed kitties. >> This is a strange thing I've observed on Frank now and then. As most of you >> probably know, Frank has a pink nose.

I vaguely remember some of them had a darker "outline" around the pink nose, but can't remember whether it was constant or intermittent, because I never really paid it much attention. FWIW, they all lived to ripe old ages, so I doubt it's anything to worry about. > This is a strange thing I've observed on Frank now and then. As most of you > probably know, Frank has a pink nose. Every now and then, a stripe along the <snip> That is strange. I have one pink-nosed kitty, but haven't seen anything like that - she is still fairly young though, just 6, so if it's age related it wouldn't show up. I would think maybe blood pressure? Definitely talk to the vet about it. There ARE no dumb questions when it comes to the health of our babies, you don't know what weird symptom my give the vet a clue to a problem early enough to do something about it.

I don't know, but I think Rufous' nose does a similar thing. Fez and Rufous both have pink noses (and all pink pads!), but I've noticed Rufous has some brownish spots on the top part of his nose. I never noticed them before, so I'm guessing they're new. Didn't think any of it until you mentioned it. Let me know what TED says!

I just > wanted to check if anyone here had any similar experiences. I haven't seen anything similar, but I agree with you about the checkup, just on general principles. Any changes in the furbabies can be worrying, though I very much hope it's nothing to worry about in Frank's case. We'll get started sending good-checkup purrs right away. ------ Krista > This is a strange thing I've observed on Frank now and then. As most of you > probably know, Frank has a pink nose.

Since she sticks that nose into everything, I figured it must be dirt. MLB |
