Good afternoon,
I have a 5 year old pure bred flame point Ragdoll cat. He has never had any health problems and is an indoor only cat. Well a few years ago he got a black spot on his pink nose. It looks like dirt but won't come off - almost like it is a mole. He has since gotten more of them around the edges of his nose. Again, it looks like dirt, but I can't scratch it off. Today I noticed he had these spots on his gums too. I've never really looked closely at his gums so I don't know if this is new or not. Just started worrying me today - what if this was an indicator of a health issue?!
Anyway, just curious if any other Ragdoll owners have experienced this with their cats. I guess it may be time to take him to the vet to get him checked out although I would prefer to not have to take him in. I am hoping someone here on the message board is going to tell me that it is nothing to worry about...
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Jeremy
