Hi everyone. I'm just looking for some advice.

My 1 year old baby Winnie has a weird bump on her nose. I have noticed it since I had her as I kitten, however I can't remember if it has always been there, or whether it appeared after a few weeks. But I know she has had it since she was very small.

I do feel though that in the last few months it has gotten slightly bigger, or more noticeable at least. I am unsure whether this is just her anatomy , or something nasty.
The bump is hard, like bone. It doesn't seem to cause her any pain at all and I don't see her ever pawing at it or even generally bothered my it. It also looks more noticeable from one side (as shown in the picture) as oppose to if I'm looking at her from the other side.


Don't want to be taking her to the vets for no reason if I don't have to as it's quite traumatic for her in the carrier and in the car, but of course if I should then I would as I'm quite concerned.

Thanks in advance !

Well, it's impossible for us to say what it might be.  There have been lots of cats here with bumps on there noses, and I don't honestly remember hearing bad things about any of them unless they started to change, BUT, that doesn't mean they weren't anything.  I think if you are worried about it, then you should have it checked out.  If nothing else, could you simply send that picture to your Vet and ask if they think it's worth bringing her in?  Maybe they noticed it at her first exam and just never said anything about it because they didn't think it was anything.

Did you ever end up taking the cat in to the vet? My kitty has a very very similar bump that developed and I'm looking for info.
