I need a quick answer

My cat is about 13 years old, she's had a black nose her whole life. Now, the inner part of her nose is turning white. This is unusual because I have never seen this happen to her. Help.

Welcome to TheCatSite,
Other members might have experience with this particular area, I have not, but you might, when you can, have a vet take a look to rule out a health problem.
Did this happen suddenly or slowly over time?

What is your kitty's name?

I kinda' just noticed it recently, she didn't have it.. say... like... a week ago.

Her name's Indago, pure-bred blu point siamese. She's 13 or so. She may also have cancer on her belly. It's killing me. >< She doesn't seem to be in pain... I can barely think about it. The thought that goes through my head is maybe the whiting of the nose is a sign of... something bad. Like a foreshadow. D: She's had the lumps for a while, but the nose only happened recently.

I don't know if there is anyone on here with experience with something like this or not. Most of our kitties have black noses. Our oldest is 7 years old. This hasn't happened to any of ours. If it did, we'd head directly to a vet.

Because many members are international or work, responses can take a day or two.

I did google it, and found this - it applies to Siamese cats though, and it seems it is something that would happen every winter, not just start after 13 years. http://www.justanswer.com/questions/...ning-white-she

Vibes for your kitty.

Oh - your kitty is siamese! And if you suspect she has cancer on her belly, I'm not sure why you haven't already been to a vet! Please go while you may be able to do something about it!

Yeah, we had her in surgery for the lumps on the right set of her nipples. It was bad. Poor baby. But they're back. ><
