Q: what would cause my cats nose to always be extremely wet?
what would cause my cats nose to always be extremely wet?
One of my kitties, Missy, always has an extremely wet nose. It will leave a wet spot when she touches anything with it, and it is ice cold. Could it be that she has allergies of some sort? I grew up having pets, and have had both cats and a dog as an adult. I've never seen an animals shnoz be almost dripping wet. She's been this way since she was just a kitten. Just wondering....

I would think it's nothing to worry about as long as there's no nasal discharge or sneezing and runny eyes. Next time you have your cat to the vet. for a check-up just ask about it. If anything, a dry, warm nose would be something to worry about.

When dogs & cats get hot they sweat through sweat glands in their noses & paw pads. The nose acts almost like a mini-air conditioning unit. Sometimes you can see sweat drip from the top or sides, not the nostrils. Usually when a cat has allergies, the problem is more like a runny nose with moisture coming from inside the nostrils. Sneezing is usually present as well. Just to be on the safe side, I would ask a vet & rule out any problems.
