This is false. A cats nose is not like a dogs nose. It is ok if the cats nose is not wet. It is also ok if the dogs nose is not wet all the time too. Dogs and cats having wet noses all the time is a myth.

∙ 14y agoYes. Normally, a cat's nose is cool and wet. Sometimes, when a cat's nose is warm and dry, it means the cat is sick. However, this is not always the case, so, if your cat's nose feels warm and dry from time to time, you don't need to worry, unless it is accompanied by other symptoms (like, not eating, drinking too much water, constantly vomiting, peeing/pooping all over the house, etc.).
