I know some white cats can get sun burn on noses and ears, and sometimes skin cancer, does anyone have any pics of what this would look like? As cat i am getting has a lil black patch on his nose, and dunno if its normal or not. owner says its the markings, but i just wana be sure. any help would be great, thanks.

Here's a good article about it with some pictures as well:

Do you know if the black is part of the hair or just the skin? If it's always been there and hasn't changed size or shape, I would think it is just a marking.
