Thread: Dirty eyes

Yes, kittens often seem to get dirty noses. They get stuff lodged on the side, in the opening/slit. This gets much less frequent as their noses grow. We had one male that always had a dirty nose as a kitten. He must have been sticking his nose into his food. You can dislodge the dirt, but isn't always too easy. I have used both fingernail and moistened cotton swab (Q-tip) at various times with varying amounts of success.
