In my cat's case, that turned out to be allergies, but that's really a question for the vet. It could be from bugs, fighting, or any one of a number of things, especially if they go outdoors.

This is what I call kitty acne. Taz has had it a few times. In Taz's case it was due to eating out of plastic bowls. Once I got rid of the plastic the sores went away. He still drinks water out of plastic, but that's because he shares with Zoee. But he hasn't developed them since I got rid of his plastic food dish.
I hope your issue is as easy as mine was.
Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.
Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

In my cat's case, she has severe allergies and, if left untreated, she would eventually lose all her hair. I'd have the vet check it out because, if it is an allergy, the itching is maddening for them. It compares to a human having poison ivy. It might be a food that's causing a reaction and, if so, you'll have to do a process of elimination. If it's environmental, then you'll have to figure out what s/he might be allergic to. Also, years ago, back in the dark ages,I bought a flea collar for a cat of mine and it caused her to lose all her hair where the collar was. And, lastly, if your cats go outdoors, it could be from fleas or bugs or allergies or a host of other things. Play it safe and have your vet look at them.
Blessings,
Mary

Taz had it on top of his head by his ears before, and all around his neck. Like I said, once I switched to non-plastic they went away. Now the second time it was only on his chin. I'm thinking the dish was too deep and that's why it got on his neck and top of his head.Originally Posted by moosmom
Now I use shallow plate like dishes that say "hungry kitty" on them, I got at Target.
