Angela St.Aubin quoth:

I just noticed something strange on one of my cats.
Along the top ridge of her mouth, on the outside, in the fur, but right next
to her "lips" there are dozens of tiny black specs.. they look almost like
blackheads.
Any ideas of what they are, or if anything needs to be done?

Kitty acne. I'll bet she's eating out of plastic dishes. If so, switch
to china or metal.
