Evening everyone, I've just got back from work and noticed some black spots on my kitten's tongue. He's only 3 months old and I'm really worried, has anyone else dealt with something similar before...?

    Evening all, I've noticed some black spots appearing on my cat's tongue. He isn't ginger—he's black and white and only 5 years old—and they definitely weren't there yesterday.

    What do you think?

    Hi everyone, my cat is over 10 years old and I've just spotted some black spots on his tongue. Could it be an illness? Or just down to old age??

    If you think he’s swallowed something, don’t hesitate—get him to the vet straight away. He’s just a baby and things can go downhill really quickly at that age. 😳 And those black spots on the tongue (like pigmentation marks)—it’s not just ginger cats that get them 🙅 other cats can have them too, it’s just a bit less common, that’s all. 👌 No worries at all for the quick reply! 😁

    I'm worried he might have swallowed something...

    Miboun isn't ginger..

    and it doesn't really look like those freckles you're talking about...

    but thanks a lot for the quick reply :)

    It might just be pigmentation, a bit like freckles in humans. Apparently, this is quite common in ginger cats or those with ginger patches on their coat, but it’s still best to show them to the vet just to be sure it isn’t an underlying condition or even poisoning 😳. At that age, they’re so curious and can sometimes swallow toxic products or other bits and pieces.
