Please help Identify what is wrong with my poor kitties nose. I cannot figure out if it is a parasite, or a bad scratch. Seem to happen overnight. This is an indoor cat so the possibility of it being from a cat fight are slim.

It is so hard to tell, just looking at pictures, what is wrong.

I think I would just err on the side of caution and make an appt with the vet.

can you see the pictures okay, im having trouble hosting them here.

One other thing, the cat does not seem bothered by this at all.

I can see the pictures clearly, but I don't know what would be wrong. In looking close, it looked to be a burn of some sort, but that is just a guess. I would think a vet appointment, to prevent any infection.

Yeah, now they are visible on the thread for me, no problem. Earlier, I just copied and pasted them to look.

They are good pics, but it is so hard to say what something could be. I mean, there are so many things that could cause that.

It's my understanding that ingesting peroxide can make cats throw up, given that you'll be putting it on her nose she probably would lick it off

I would not put anything on it...you may do more harm than good. And I would make sure to wash my hands after touching it (just in case it is something like ringworm...NOT saying it is, just in case)

Unless your cat is acting strange or something changes, I think it would be safe to wait until monday.

JMHO

I've never seen one, but, could it be a Rodent Ulcer?
