    Black spots on cats nose?

    My cat is about 7 and he has these black spots on his nose, when you pick them they bleed. Should I be worried its cancer??

    Hmm my cat got that last year through summer.
    I have no idea what it was but it did go away as the weather got cooler.
    If you are worried ring the vet for advice.

    I myself think it's a type of sunburn, and will be getting my Minti some sunscreen next week in prep for the warmer weather [she's pure white].

    My ginger cat has spots on her nose and lips (if you know what I mean by cat lips lol) the vet told me they were the cat version of freckles! Her's were flat though (as in you couldn't pick at them) so might be worth taking them to vet to get checked out? Hopefully it's nothing too sinister.

    Minti's looked like the tip of her nose [on top] had been scraped and scabbed black.
    Or like tar I guess you could say.
