I Stopped Using Plastic Bowls for My Cat—Here’s What Happened to Their Chin Acne

I Stopped Using Plastic Bowls for My Cat—Here’s What Happened to Their Chin Acne

For a long time, I didn't think much about what my cat’s water bowl was made of.

Plastic was light, cheap, and came in cute colors.

But then I noticed those tiny black dots on my cat’s chin.

I thought it was just dirt.

It wasn't.

It was feline acne—and the culprit was sitting right in my kitchen.

Here’s the thing about plastic:

Even the "BPA-free" stuff develops microscopic scratches over time.

You can't see them—but bacteria love them.

No matter how hard you scrub, those bacteria stay trapped in the pores of the plastic.

I made the switch to a heavy-duty 304 stainless steel fountain.

Within two weeks, the "black dots" were gone.
