Hi folks. Have a 17-week old kitten. Just noticed the other day that he's
starting to get a wide nose; like is common on many adult cats. Upon closer
inspection today I realized that it's really some sort of abnormal growth,
because one side is slightly more pronounced than the other.

In comparison I felt the side of my adult cat's nose and I could feel the
bone just beneath the skin, whereas with the kitten there are a slight
fleshy lumps on either side of the nose. The affected areas are not red, and
not pussy, but a little dry and crusty under the velvety fur. The velvet is
all still there on both sides. Th lumps do not cause the ckitten discomfort;
no pain when I press on them with a finger, and the kitten does not scratch
them either.

What is it and how can I treat it. (I'm not the type to rush cats down to
the vet for every minor problem.)
