The careful owner pays attention to the slightest changes in the condition and behavior of his pet - a cat or a cat. And the most inexperienced of them show excessive anxiety, if the cat has a dry nose, are looking for the cause of this phenomenon.
Why does the cat have a dry nose?
Having determined that a cat or cat has a warm dry nose, first of all do not panic and observe the behavior of your pet. Maybe a cute feline creature just woke up. For cats, dryness of the nose is a normal reaction to awakening. The same dryness of the nose can be observed in the cat after active games, running and the like. Since the temperature of a cat is slightly higher than that of a person (about two degrees), the evaporation of moisture from the surface of the body (nose including) of this small animal under active actions occurs more intensively - that's the reason for the dry and warm nose. Small, very harmless, deviations in health can also become a temporary cause of dryness of the nose. For example, overwork, overeating, excess wool in the digestive tract (cats swallow wool during licking) can cause a slight increase in temperature and, as a consequence, the nose in a cat can become warm and dry. Do not worry, it will pass by itself.

If it (temperature) lasts a long time, while the animal still sleeps a lot, lost its appetite, apathetic, thick and opaque discharge from the nose - immediately seek help from a doctor. Only the doctor will be able to make the correct diagnosis and prescribe the appropriate treatment.
