We have a 10 week old male kitty named Secret... I've been sick this past week and we've noticed Secret has been sneezing here and there, and at night around 10pm he'll get a red nose... darker than usual, as well as his paws getting a darker pink than usual. Is this normal? He's REAL rambunctious and this darker pink usual occurs after an enegetic spell, but this and the sneezing makes me wonder.

Any ideas of why this is happening? Or is it normal? Thanks!

The sneezing is probably just a little kitty cold--you can give some L-Lysine to help him get through it faster. If it worsens, call the vet. As for the redness, I've noticed that the cats' noses and paw pads tend to change color depending on their circulation. When my boys are resting, their paw pads get paler, but when they are alert or running around, they can get pretty dark.
