It sounds like your cat is experiencing a change with a red nose that might be linked to the stress of moving or an element in your new environment.
- Monitor for any additional symptoms.
- Consider any potential allergens or irritants in your new home.
- Stress from moving can cause temporary changes.
In many cases, a change in your cat's nose color could be due to environmental factors, including stress from moving, or exposure to irritants. It's important to observe if there are other symptoms like itching, sneezing, or discharge. If your cat's behavior seems normal otherwise, it might just be a temporary reaction. However, if you notice any other signs of discomfort or the redness persists, a consultation with a vet can provide reassurance and guidance.
