Poor Vino has acne :-(

Yesterday I was scritching Vino under his chin when I noticed a black dot.
Upon further investigation, I noticed a whole bunch of them. Some came off
with a bit of gentle fingernail scratching, but others didn't. Dennis was
summoned for assistance. We ended up squeezing one and a huge blackhead
with a 4-5mm root came out! Ick! Poor Vino wasn't happy, although he was
very well behaved. We are so proud of him. We squeezed out 2 more after
that. Then we cleaned up the area with some alcohol, which Vino didn't
appreciate either. This morning it looks like he has some scabs, but
otherwise well. I guess we are going to have to clean his chin with a wet
cloth now and again so this doesn't happen again. We don't even use plastic
bowls for food or water, only stainless steel. But I'm not surprised, in
this heat bacteria grows just about everywhere. I'm just happy at how well
Vino did, he wasn't traumatized at all and only minutes later he was in bed
with us, cuddling. Now we have a new nickname for him...zitface ;-)

I went to your website and saw the pics of Vino. He has such a beautiful
face. I hope the zitcream works.

We say that Mr. Bob is a perpetual teenager because he always has zits on
his chin!!!! No plastic bowls here, either.. and his are year round.
Careful.. pretty soon Vino will be asking to go to the mall all the time,
getting all moody, etc... just like a teenager!

Poor Vino! He *was* a good boy to let you work on him like that.

Britta - one of my cats had this despite ceramic feeding dishes - my vet
advised washing Missy's chin with a mild soap or cleanser such as
"Cetaphil" - worked well for us.
I've always enjoyed your pictures of Vino - he's such a handsome, assured
fellow.........Lorna

Such a good kitty! Our Zitface cat, Trill, sends sympathy purrs to
Vino.

Poor baby! What a good boy, too, to let you help him. Kitty acne is no
fun -- purrs that it clears up really soon.
