386.0. "I'm serious!!!" by JAWS::COTE (Luckless pedestrian...) Wed Nov 12 1986 13:12
    This might be a tad distasteful but I'm kind of concerned...
    
    Recently my cat Aja (a cute little white unit of no distinct
    breeding) started developing what seems to be, (for lack of a
    better term), boogers.
    
    These items form along the edge of both nostrils regularly about
    once a week. They are easily removed with a tissue, ("Here Kitty,
    blow...") and are always very dark. The color caught my attention
    as the first thing I thought of was dried blood from nasal bleeding.
    However, there are no other signs of bleeding (stained fur, bad
    breath, ect.)
    
    Is this unusual? I don't ever remember any of my parents cats
    having this affliction.
    
    Thanks

| 386.1 | Don't know anything you can do about it either! | DONJON::SCHREINER | danger zone | Wed Nov 12 1986 13:31 | 7 | 
|  |     No, I don't think this is unusual.  Some of my cats have the same
    thing, while others don't.  It is especially more noticeable on
    white cats because of the non-color!!!

| 386.2 | no problem | YAZOO::B_REINKE | Down with bench Biology | Fri Nov 14 1986 21:37 | 4 | 
|  |     One of my cats had this problem for most of her life. I asked
    several different vets about it and was always told that it 
    was harmless.

| 386.3 | Messy Eater? | CSC32::JOHNS |  | Mon Nov 17 1986 15:08 | 6 | 
|  |     I constantly have to clean Cheetah's nose.  In his case it is dried
    food.
    
    You can lead a cat to eat, but you can't teach him good eating habits.
