What causes sudden pale gums & nose in a cat?

Question

My cat often turns pale.Within a few minutes her colour returns to normal.She seems healthy and is active enough.I rescued her from the roadside along with her mother 5 years ago.
What could cause this sudden paleness and then complete recovery?

I would see a vet ASAP. Pale gums on a cat is not a good sign.

You need to take your cat to a vet, and have a blood test run.  Be sure to indicate what happens, and that is it not a permanent condition.  There are a number of things that can cause this, but before others chime in with all sort of diagnoses, no one has seen your cat, and it could be trivial, especially if caught quickly.

Cats are very stoic, so they don't show problems easily.

Listen to Cat Lover, Vet ASAP. Describe what happened & make sure they do bloodwork & a complete checkup.
