This is so rare, that many people say it is the very first time they have seen a black cat with a pink nose.
It is not known for sure why this black cat has a pink nose!
Some people say that it could be something called, Vitiligo which is where the skin loses pigment cells.
A Not Quite Black Cat Can Have A Pink Nose
A tabby cat that has a bit more of a black or darkish color can have a bit of a pink nose.
However, we all know that deep down this is not a “black cat” but for many people, it is as close as you are going to get with regards to a black cat having a black nose.
A Stinger On The Nose!
If you do see a black cat with a pink nose, chances are you are not seeing a very rare cat, but a cat that has gotten into some trouble!
If a cat gets a scratch on their nose or worse and it causes the skin to be damaged.
Most of the time when the skin will grow back, it will be pinker/flesh-colored before it gets a blackness to it.

Can Black Cats Have Pink Noses? My Thoughts
Our American Shorthair called Coco has a black coat with little white flecks on his chest and a few white hairs dotted around his coat.
He has the hallmarks of a typical black cat. I’m sure you’ve guessed that he of course has a black nose.
The genes that make a black cat black, are incredibly strong, and dominant genes often suppressing Tabby genes to win the battle for dominance.
Black cat”s “accessories” (paw pads and nose) are almost exclusively black although, there is a bit more of a variation in color when it comes to black cat’s paw pads.
So can black cats have pink noses? They can, but you probably have a better chance of winning the lottery than having a black cat with a pink nose.
