Nose color change

[ChristineL]

@Dr. Jeff, @Dr. Christina and @Dr. Jean Hofve,

I’ve noticed that over the past four months, the color of my male cat’s nose has gradually changed from black to a flesh-colored pink. Is this a normal change, or could it be a sign of an underlying health issue (early warning sign)?

Was his nose ever uniformly black like coal?

Yes, sir! Uniformly black like coal when he was young but the color started to go lighter...
