My little one has had a black residue on and around her nose, it is not wet or running, this has gone on for two months, she is generally most fastidious, as only cats can be.

Is she vaccinated?

She was vaccinated, but it has lapsed, as she is an older cat and I was told there was no need [not by vet , obviously] There is no sneezing or anything.

It is often a sign of calicivirus but can indicate a polyp or similar in the intranasal area.

My 14 year old big fluffy ginger lad has had a similar nose for yonks.....literally a couple of years.....he's really well and very lively and playful but does sound "snuffly" on ccasions - you can hear him "breathing" (if you know what I mean!) - does this mean he could have a polyp? He's really "top dog" (!) in my "cat pack" of five and showing no signs of respiratory problems other than as stated. I'm worried now!

My cat has CLAMIDIA, I took her to a proper vet today [after the last one gave me a bill for £45 including a £30 fee for "consultation",,,, five mins in her presence].
Any way the same treatment [as it happens] was £10 less for consultation and £5 less for antibiotic.
Also got a good 45mins of chit chat, cat was properly examined all over, was given advice on possible problems, including advice on the other one [overweight], plus wormers and frontline [different name now], all in all a good £60 quids worth, and she did not try to sell me slimming food", toothpaste" or advise that I should resurrect my vaccination program.
