The black spots on a kitten's nose are pigment deposits. If the nose feels smooth to the touch, this is normal. Not all cats have the same nose color, as each cat's nose color can vary due to genetics.
The black discharge on a kitten's nose is nasal secretion. Owners can wipe it away with a damp tissue, but be careful not to pick it off directly, as this can damage the kitten's skin. The black discharge on a kitten's nose could also be ringworm. Kittens have weaker immune systems and are more susceptible to ringworm if multiple kittens are nursing at the same time, as unclean nipples can lead to infection. Owners can take their kitten to a veterinary clinic to consult a veterinarian about appropriate medication.
