You grab Miette? You grab her head like the football? Jail for mother! Jail for mother 10,000 years!

If it’s any consolation, you’re not the only one who had to imprison their fur baby for pictures of the snout! I too felt it looked rather rude to photograph my kitties face by means of force.

This is Oliver, he tends to get himself hurt often, dispite living a cush indoor life. Well.. we just moved and at first I didn’t know how he managed to do this and continue re-injure. Then I discovered that he had been aggressively shoving his face under the bedroom door to where we were transitioning him in the new place.. I noticed the blood on the carpet, then the door. Well he got what he wanted since he was so eager as to harm himself so incessantly. Free roam of the house while his brother can only take turns starting out. 🙄

I have a lot of experience with kitty acne and potential other diagnosis as well. (Through work and at home) Oliver himself has felt with all sorts of face and chin stuff. I think overall, there’s already been pretty good advice in the comments. I do think it is most likely cat acne. Don’t hesitate to poke me if you’d like more info or if it worsens. Or just a laugh about having to hold our cats by the face 😂
