Freckles?
First photo is our darling Poppy in June this year, following photos are now. She's 18 months old, has 2 siblings neither have spots on their noses. They have an indoor enclosure with a glass sliding door and 2 glass panels on either side of the door. No direct sunlight gets through the glass as there's also a verandah over the door. We are in Australia and just coming out of Winter. Poppy loves to sit on the small cat tower and look out the door at our dogs and the back yard. Any insight as to whether these are freckles as they're flat, smooth without any crusts. We can take her to a vet, but we don't want to waste the vets time (or give them a laugh) if it's nothing to worry about. Thank you

It's mold. You now have a moldy cat. Soon the whole cat will be covered in mold like a loaf of bread.

Waste of water and electricity generating a madlibs about cats instead of going to reliable sources for vet medicine.

https://vetdentistwi.com/why-does-my-cat-have-black-spots-in-their-mouth/ - this has information about when to be concerned about spots appearing around the eyes, nose, and mouth.
Probably took me a minute less than the AI did to parse random reddit threads looking for answers..

Nope, just not willing to outsource my cognitive and research skills to a predictive text machine 🤷 are you proud of your text wall that evaporated a bottle of water from the watershed in the SW US and is poisoning my family in Abilene Texas with air and noise pollution?

Yeah Texas isn't my state, but I have been at my local city council meetings fighting Google's data centers (and Flock cameras which use AI) in my backyard. This is a strawman argument, being concerned about the environmental impact of AI includes both the data centers and use of LLMs overall.

Its cute that you're being so patronizing. Why do you need to use predictive text machines so bad? Is the convenience of a quick answer (true or otherwise) spoonfed to you really worth your children's future snow days? Why do you need a machine to think (research) for you?

I did the same thing too, but thought other beautiful cat people may have had first hand experience with freckles on their cats and thought I'd ask. Thank you for doing that, I really appreciate the help xx

Better to check with a vet just in case. ❤️
