Poor Doodles. He just had his 11th birthday yesterday and seems to be going through adolescence already. He has chin acne! His vet said that it’s due to getting his chin wet when eating his wet cat food. That’s what happens when you shove your face in your food! Why am I not surprised?

For cats being such smart creatures, they certain can be dumb when it comes to eating. I remember our cats would do the same thing, they would just shove their faces down into their bowl of food. Somebody needs to teach them manners! lol

@DianneN Bubi does not do this, but the furry tuxedo cat of the other neighbors always do. He will become like Doodles, he wants to eat all the time.

Shoving one's face into wet food is never a good idea. I wonder if only black cats do that? Doodles has a mild case, and a quick swipe of witch hazel should help relieve it. It doesn't seem to bother him, although it bothers us.

I had a cat that had chin acne. I used to wipe his chin with Stridex pads. No joke.

I knew dogs could get it from that, but they dont wash themselves like a cat does. Never thought about a cat getting it. Poor guy and then you post it for everyone to see.

Me, too, but apparently he isn't the first cat to have chin acne. At least he only has a mild case thank goodness.

You'll have to start wiping his chin after he eats. Sounds more like an old person's problem than a teenager's.

@much2say I'll examine his tiny chin when I "go to our vacation home' and see him in one month. Only a grammy can look and decide for sure. . My son said that it doesn't look too bad.

He only has a mild case and a little witch hazel wipe is all that's necessary.

Yes, we have to wipe his chin with witch hazel after he eats. The problem is that he eats all day long!. He only has a mild case, so it's not at risk of becoming infected.

Thanks you on behalf of Doods. He only eats from stainless steel and porcelain. I think his problem is from using his chin as a snow plow to shove as much as possible into his big fat belly.

@DianneN So welcome and pets to Doods. lol. Ah , that's good no plastic. One of ours had come down with the chin acne , and that's when we switched out to either ceramic or Stainless for their "dinnerware" . Lol there are few things softer than a cat belly

So glad you and Doodles are so close in birthdays. He is a fat little bull, unlike you, however. His chin acne is mild, but the vet suggested a quick wipe with with hazel every time he eats. That can be an all day affair!

@LowRiderX You are right about cats knowing how much they need to eat as opposed to dogs. However, Doodles believes he is a dog. That's why he's so fat and can't fit on the chair back in the photo. . I will start making birthday preparations for next year for you and Doodles.
