Mayhem's been developing a little black spot on her nose. I first
thought it was dirt, but it wouldn't wipe away. I wasn't sure what it
was, and have been keeping an eye on it.

It hasn't gotten aby bigger, but it hasn't gotten away either.
Hmmmmmmm....... My books don't really say much about skin cancer, and
I haven't found much on the web. I called my clinic and unfortunately
we are booked tomorrow. The receptionist mentions that cats might
develop spots as they get older.

I'm gonna call back later to talk to one of my coworkers who's been an
RVT for the last 20 years, and see what she thinks.

She's not an outdoor cat so i don't think it could be skin cancer, but
i can't be sure. And on the other hand, i don't qualify for my
employee discount yet. But something like this I would want to get a
vet's opinion on just in case.

Anyone else have cats with spots that just show up?

Cats can get skin cancer... my grandma's white cat had to have half of
both ears removed because she insisted on lying outside in the sun at
midday... if Mayhem doesn't spend lots of time outside I don't think
it could be her problem - it might just be a freckle or mole... Tessie
has a tiny little darker spot on the inside of one of her ears.
