Purrs and best wishes for all infections to go away,
-- Polonca & Soncek "badwilson" wrote in message ... I feed Vino from metal dishes and he still gets the acne on his chin :-( But in this case it probably has more to do with the constant humidity, etc around here. I now take up his dish of wet food after 20 min. When the zits get too bad, I squeeze them and then wash his chin with alcohol or astringent. He's amazingly good about it. I also wash his chin with a soapy cloth every few days. The weather around here is just awful for this kind of skin problem. Even in hoomins, it is common to get fungal infections (I myself suffer from recurring oral thrush, aaargh, I hate it!) and often you'll get weird things growing behind your ears, even with 3 showers a day. TMI, I know...sorry! -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!

Don't know about the hot-ness of metal bowls, but I imagine they might heat up in the sun. I have heard and witnessed that plastic bowls can give kitties acne-like stuff on their chins (happens to Mr. Bob). Stacey
