Nose color changes in cats can sometimes be caused by factors like temperature changes, age, or the amount of sun exposure. As long as your cat is behaving normally—eating, playing, and using the litter box—it's generally not a cause for alarm. Keep an eye on your cat for any additional symptoms such as sneezing, discharge, or changes in appetite or behavior, as these could indicate the need for a professional evaluation.
