My white cat, Sophie Lilac has a black mark under her eye. (under her fur) At first I thought she had scratched herself and it was a scab. She lets me look at it and touch it & it doesn't seem to hurt her at all and it doesn't seem to be a scab or a cut. She is acting perfectly normal: eating well, no problems going to bathroom (poop or pee) and is very playful, as she usually is. My concern is that I have read that white cats are prone to skin cancer. I live in a condo & we only get a few hours of morning sun, so she doesn't have much sun exposure. She is 3 years old. I use a holistic vet who doesn't do traditional vet stuff, so I'll need to find a traditional vet, but maybe it's nothing. (I tend to be an alarmist!) She's had this going on 2 weeks. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated! Thanks.

This is probably the single most important toy I ever bought. I got it when my boy was a kitten and two years later, he still plays with it every day.

have you called your vet to ask their advice they might want to see the cat just to rule things out
