3. Do you use plastic dishes for the cat's food and/or water?.
They can cause what is called feline Acne. Switch to ceramic or stainless steel dishes.

If you are not using plastic and/or it does not go away soon, I would suggest a vet visit.


The plastic dishes ALWAYS get scratched during use and cleaning. Those scratches in the dishes are breeding grounds for bacteria...Whenever the cat sticks his/her face in the bowl to eat or drink, their chin comes in contact with the bacteria.
