Chin getting darker

[Robyn5678]

Here is my little girl natasha. She is 7 months old. Long story short, my friend was supposed to adopt her and it didn’t work out so I have her. He had her the past 3 weeks.
I feel like her chin skin is darker than the last time I saw her. I’m not sure if this is normal, as my other cat is all black, so that’s all I’ve known. Or am I just neurotic?

first pic is about a month ago. 2nd was yesterday

What a pretty little girl! If by chin darkness you mean that you are seeing small spots or raised areas, that might be chin acne. The usual cause is the use of plastic dishes and if you switch to glass or stainless steel (I found that with one of mine I had to stop using ceramic as well) it usually clears up.

Thank you! I love her. I was wondering if it was chin acne as well. I’m not sure what kind of bowl she was using at my friends but I do have them using a glass bowl here. I’ll keep an eye on it!

Just in case it is acne, after you wash the bowls, pour boiling water over them to be sure any nasties are dead as doornails.

A warm damp cloth works wonders for acne. Don't rub hard, just jently stroke and hold it on the chin, it helps open the pores.
