Not only are they cute, but a cat's whiskers are also a significant part of being a cat. These sensitive organs allow cats to get into dark and narrow spaces. But it's also for this reason that most cats get super sensitive when their whiskers get brushed against surfaces.
With this, deep and narrow openings in bowls can cause discomfort when cats eat/drink. You may want to replace your cat's bowls with wide, shallow ones. Also, don't put the bowls against walls or in corners.
Most cat enthusiasts are aware of cat acne, the itchy bumps on a cat's skin mostly found near their muzzle and chin. It's not yet clear what causes cat acne, but research suggests its association with plastic bowls. While not every cat reacts to plastic, it's best to opt for stainless or ceramic materials instead. Cat fountains, bowls, and feeders come in various materials to let you choose from.
Any problem affecting your pet's skin and/or hair coat should require a visit to your pet clinic Bowmanville, ON.
