Zenith thank you for uploading Nova's pictures, he's such a good looking cat! Love his nose too!  ;D  Yes Pips also has gone from being grey to brown, but I suspected it would happen, seen it before with one tabby kitten. Never new the nose could change as well, but I guess it's just nature, he's becoming almost invisible when out in the gardens.


And thank you all for the compliments! He's our little pride and joy!  :Luv2:

Just thinking out loud but could it be the same as us - skin pigment colour can change over the years for a variety of reasons or something similar to all foals being born not with the same coat colour that the will have when they mature.

Both cats are  :Luv: :Luv: btw

I only have experience with this with dogs, but my cocker spaniel, Jarvis had a black nose for his first 2 years, then it started to fade this winter, it's now a sort of dark pinky grey, it's apparently common in the cold weather and is known as winter or snow nose. :)

My Nova was born with a black nose, then he developed a small light patch, then it went orange!  Plus my little boy eventually turned ginger  :evillaugh:

oooh so it is  :wow: not sure sorry, our Squeaky was all black but suddenly got half a white tash after a few months.  I suppose they can change but not really heard of it before, maybe someone on here has experienced this with their cat.

Pipsqueak is gorgeous btw  :Luv: :Luv2:

Pipsqueak's nose was all black when he was a small kitten, but as he's growing, it's becoming red!  :wow:  It's a complete surprise to me, I didn't know such a thing could happen. Have you experienced the same with your cats?

Adding few pictures so you can see the difference.
