A couple of weeks ago I noticed a lump on our little black Sophie's
chin, and I was concerned about it. The next morning it had disappeared,
so I cancelled my planned trip to the vet. But yesterday the lump
returned, and I became doubly concerned, so today I took Sophie to the
vets. Dr. Beck's verdict? Feline acne! Sophie had a zit! I was very
relieved, and asked what had caused it, other than Sophie's a teenager.
Dr. Beck said it's very important that her feed bowls- preferably
stainless steel - be clean at all times. Good news all round.
It's amazing the number of kitties that do develop zits due to plastic
bowls.
So much so that when I read about how many do, I made sure my two only eat
of out of stainless steel bowls and occasionally enamel saucers, clean for
every meal. It may be that plastic gets scratched through being cleaned
over time and bacteria can enter the scratches. I haven't heard about the
same problem in dogs, though. My whippets used to eat/drink out of heavy
porcelain bowls, to stop them pushing them around to get out the last
microscopic piece of edible substance out, so whether the bowls were as
impervious as stainless steel would be or whether whipppets just don't get
acne, I'm not too sure ;-)
Perhaps plastic bowls are more likely to get contaminated by bacteria
because of cats habits of leaving food to go back to. D*gs (or at least
mine) normally *never* do this. If they did I knew they were ill.
It was a big learning curve for me when my d*gs had all gone to RB and the
cats moved in. I was worried when they didn't gobble up all their food
the instant it was presented. It concerned me that they didn't seem to
understand despite repeated warnings that there were some things I didn't
want them to do and they ignored it. I began to think I'd got a couple of
cats with learning disabilities ;-)
ROTFLMAO! Nope, *you* were the one with learning disabilities (at least in
their eyes)!

I've learned the truth now. Cats do what they want and there's nothing to
be done about it!
