The first two we didn't know what it was and just thought they were picking at a scab from a fight (this is right after we got Virgil with his tiny kitten claws) but when Floyd got it he was going to the vet a lot so they knew right away what it was. His got very bad and gross. And I should mention - we didn't have plastic bowls, we had stainless - but we don't think they were the issue because we switched to glass before Floyd got it. What you should do is see if there is any other plastic they like to rub - in our house we had an arched comb thing they LOVED but it was plastic - we still have it but they can't use it (I keep planning to cover the plastic part just haven't done it) and also their plastic toy box and other plastic bins were probably a big part. The vet did recommend trying stridex - the most mild kind - and it really did help a lot with Floyd's acne.Amy & the house of catshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345856423713438044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180581166273986645.post-32606369086897679672009-12-01T17:21:24.831-05:002009-12-01T17:21:24.831-05:00I had feline acne, but of all places - it was on m...I had feline acne, but of all places - it was on my tummy.
