Small lump on nose? (pictures)

Hi, I have had my cat Willard for about 10 months now, I rescued him on the street in the Bronx, and he has always had this small lump on his nose. He is about 2 years old. All other cats I have owned have had smooth, straight noses, and the vet said this is nothing to worry about, that some cats just have 'roman noses'. It's probably me just being paranoid, because I'm crazy about this cat. Anyway, I don't think it's gotten any bigger at all since I've had him, and when I touch it it just feels hard so I'm thinking it could be scar tissue from where he was possibly cut before I found him. He is a very active cat who runs around the apartment all throughout the day and has tons of energy. Here are some photos showing the lump. Is this something to worry about? Thank you very much in advance.

Looking at the pictures i'd say it is just his facial structure. Like humans cats all have different nose shapes and sizes. I doubt it was caused by an injury but if it was it has long since healed and is nothing to worry about since it is not bothering him.

I don't know what the bump on his nose is, you could show it to your vet next time he's there. He's a beautiful cat

I don't think it's anything to worry about. One of my fosters has a pretty strangely shaped nose too. Most likely he's born with it just like some people are born with "bumps" on their noses. If it's not getting bigger and is not sore or inflamed looking I see no reason to worry. He's a beautiful boy and I think the bump just gives him carachter.

It's normal and nothing to be concerned about. I've had 2 kitties with that little hump.
