This is so real. My cat needs someone to clean her chin acne and remember to give her anti hairball paste, and to trim her nails. A bunch of friends of friends on my Plex server need me to keep it working so they can watch all the latest movies.
Thanks for the tip! Our vet actually recommended grain inclusive food I think related to her kidneys and urine results, but she had acne since before that - plus it’s mostly gone ever since we switched to a set of metal bowls that we wash after 1 use, and a brief period of regular cleaning with chlorhexidine wipes. These days I mostly just check on it once a month and periodically brush her chin to get rid of any loose blackheads since the large embedded ones are long gone.
That’s super fair and I’m glad she has you looking out for her! It seems to be caused by a lot of things and you just do your best to handle it.
I did something similar with my cats, but I basically found a whole box of saucers (like for under a coffee/tea cup) my mom bought back in the day, an “unbreakable” resteraunt variety, where buying the whole box was cheaper than buying a set of 12, because nobody wants them (why I didn’t sell them)
So I have a stack that lasts about a week and a half of 4 plates daily (two cats each get 8am and 8pm). I just throw them in the dishwasher rather than daily washing. I’m very lazy. But I also live alone so it gets me to run my dishwasher before I’m entirely out of dishes.
Ooh yeah our dishwasher is usually 1/4 full of the cat dishes lol, we do the same, the more frequent runs mean we don’t have to worry as much about running rinse cycles for dried on stuff. I couldn’t live without a dishwasher
Every day:
‘I really want to die.’
‘We can’t though. And our cat needs us.’
Sigh. ‘Yeah.’

They’re motivating, for sure.
I’ve also looked up how long she could live on my corpse.
I also know I don’t want her to have to do that. People don’t like adopting cats who have eaten people, so that would narrow her prospects.
So final answer, cat needs me.
Hey idk if this will help you but my cats chin acne cleared up when I switched her to grain free food. It was an allergy reaction in her case.
But even if it does help she still needs all that other stuff, and none of us ever get younger so she’ll only need you more :)
