Hi,I'm new here! I've just got two new kittens(both 8 weeks old)from the same litter.They came from a foster home of an animal charity.
They seem quite healthy,but weren't too clean when I got them.
In particular,their noses seem to have black,caked-on "dirt" around them.
I've tried to clean it off with warm water & cotton pads but it's quite ingrained.
Should I be worried,will it eventually come off of it's own accord,and will the kittens start cleaning themselves soon?
I'm taking then to the vet soon for their first vaccinations,so will mention it to him.
The dirt probably isn't a health risk(I hope!),but looks ugly as they're pale-coloured cats with pink noses.
Thanks for any help/advice...
