If your cat has a hot nose, don't panic.
A cat's hot nose does not always mean that it is sick.
What kind of nose should a healthy cat have?
A healthy cat's nose should be cool and moist.
However, a hot, dry nose does not always indicate illness. If a cat's nose becomes hot after sleep or active play, this is normal.
A hot nose, combined with other symptoms such as decreased activity and refusal to eat, should be a cause for concern.
A very cold nose with a lot of discharge may also indicate that your pet is sick.
