Pet's info: Cat | British Shorthair | Female | spayed | 1 year and 3 months old | 12 lbs
Hello. I'm a bit concerned my cats gums are too pale. She is playful, has a healthy appetit, 1 year old spayed British longhaired cat. I don't notice any other changes in her behavior, just the pale gums. Please see pictures attached. Many thanks

Hi ! Please don’t worry this pale pink colour is normal for a cat. It’s good that you get her used to have them checked over so you might find it easier to spot any changes in the future. However for cats, it’s always a bit of a challenge even for vets to tell when they are pale as they are normally pale pink. Hope this helps !
