    It's just pigment. This male rescue kitten of mine shown on the right side of the picture below has a black line on the bottom of his mouth similar to the line your kitty has.

    Don't worry about it. It's just some extra pigmentation he has. It's common in bicolored cats. I have a tabby/white cat that looks like she has a very dirty chin and I even tried to clean it off when the coloring first appeared but then I realized that it was permanent.

    It looks like it is just his coloring.
