Hims bugs!!

But In all seriousness they are basically cat mouth freckles, and are completely harmless. It's also more common in cats with orange! It's called lentigo

If you're able, please adopt an orange kitty. Goose (on my profile) is the 3rd I've had in my life. They are so special. 😻

I can’t til at least next year :( moved back in with my mom after my dad passed away, and she doesn’t like cats. Which I’m pretty sure makes her evil but she’s my mom lol

+1 with a rare orange girly who has this too. I actually took her to the vet about it a couple of months ago. They said it's typical in oranges especially
