But, really, one can do what is sensible, and everyone is just fine.
Thanks, though, but I wasn't asking for advice. I was just trying to help someone with a problem, someone who asked. There is a difference between doing that and giving unsolicited advice. One is, hopefully welcome, the other can be presumptuous and offensive. I bet you only meant the best for my cats. Don't worry, they are very, very, very, well cared for. I do know what I'm doing. I make a point of it. By the way, the cat with the acne problem lived many years after I was able to figure out her problem and eliminate it. She lived to be 19. She was very dear. Her name was Lulu. She was a very small black cat. I never loved anyone more, of any species, in my whole long life, than her. Robin |
1) what type of feeding and water dishes are being used
and
2) how clean are the dishes kept.
Dry food (and the saliva left from frequent nibbling) leaves a residue that becomes rancid and harbors bacteria. Dirty dishes and old bacteria laden food are both very common causes of feline acne.
I will continue to advise people to always throw away uneaten dry food after 12 hours, clean the dishes before putting fresh food in, and never put fresh food over old.
