Okay, I have an all white cat, something I have never had before. . . Is it normal for her to get what I call Boogers or dirty nose? She does not have a runny nose, but every week or so, she gets a blackish/dark brown what looks like boogers in her nose. Is it a normal cat thing and i have just never noticed it on dark noses, or is she playing around in dirty things (ie. dog toys) or what? Any advice?

My Ivory gets black crusties as well.
In her case though, it is a chronic sinus issue stemming from multiple problems she had as a kitten.

I wouldn't worry about it too much unless she seems otherwise sick, but I would bring it up with the vet.

She is fully vaccinated, and she does not show signs of being sick. She has had dirty nose since I got her. Just wondering if it was a normal think. . .
