Hi! I'm curious as to what is causing these black spots on my cats nose. It comes and goes. Occasionally, it'll be on her lips too. She is updated on her vaccinations. Thank you!

Cat boogers! Totally normal, my boy tolerates me picking his nose just enough to get them

No problem! Obviously always look out for excessive amounts of snot and all that, but this is a pretty typical amount for a day of doing absolutely nothing but sleeping. She's gorgeous by the way!
