Hi Guy,
First time I’ve ever posted, but my 10 week old kitten has a strange grey/white growth on one of his toes, I originally thought it was a piece of cat litter so I tried to get it off, my kitten made it very clear that it was attached and it obviously caused him some pain when I prodded it. He walks and runs around like a champ and he seems generally ok.

I’ve booked to see the vets on Monday, but it’s going to be a long weekend of worrying, so I was hoping someone would maybe have some idea what it is and hopefully put my mind at rest that it’s nothing serious or at least give me a rough idea how serious it may be.
I’ve attached a couple of photos, I’ve tried to make it as unblurry as I can (he doesn’t stay still very long)

You are definitely okay to see the vet on Monday. Leave the spot alone until then and let the vet deal with it. In a very young cat, the chances of a serious condition are rare. To me, this looks discrete and confined, even if it were to need some treatment.
