The Nose Question

Well, our kitten, Abu, was born with a solid black nose- as far as the naked eye could discern. It has since turned into a red star with a black outline.
Generally speaking, unless both parents are black nosed tabbies, (so silver spotted or brown spotted) there is no guarantee that a kitten's black nose will remain black.
What can make it more likely is if they are overall very dark and dramatic, the charcoal cool-toned tabbies seem to have more black noses as adults... see these pics of Jumoke as a baby and as adult.
It seems rare to see a warm-toned golden bst end up keeping the black nose, it does happen occasionally but generally those ones tend to end up with a pink center...

When I have time (ROFL) I will try to put something together... I have loads of pics of individual kittens from birth to 3-4 months and then assorted adult pics as the owners see fit to send them to me...

Yes that is actually a very common theme in other forums I have noticed. Maybe it would be fun to have a sticky, kitten to adult? Or even an entire section for all the different photo categories, for F1, F2, Nonstandard, Kittens, Kittens - Adulthood, etc.
