What's this pink spot on my cat's nose if it doesn't bother her?

Question

Hi, What is this pink spot? My indoor orange tabby cat has it for a few days. It doesn't seem to bother or hurt her in any way (I gently touched it to check). She behaves as usual. No changes in eating or any other habits. Doesn't touch her nose more than usual. No other spots anywhere else. The pink spot didn't change since it appeared. No scabs, discharge or anything. It's just there. [She chased a bee recently, not sure if the same day. Sniffs&rubs her nose on stuff sometimes as cats do.].

Thanks for reaching out! That area does not appear abnormal. It may be that she scuffed a small amount of hair off or had a scab that fell off. The skin looks very normal and healthy. I would just monitor it for changes in color, itchiness, or if it begins to progress and notify your veterinarian if so.
