mysterious cat bump

[2eclipse]

yeah, so yesterday morning i found a lump on my cat's face.
it was on her lip on the right side and there was no cooresponding bump on the other side (not a place where teeth stuck out naturally).
so i made an appointment with the vet.
i thought it might be an absess or something, since i know cats get them.

the vet took a look at her.
she lifted up her lip and she POPPED the sucker.
madeleine had a blackhead the size of her nose.
i was amazed. i didn't know cats could get zits.
how undignified.
anyway, now she's all up to date on her shots, has had her ears cleaned, and is substantially less plagued by acne. :) i am amused.

Yes. That is truly disgusting.

And I thought that leaky anal glands were nasty... Okay, well, they are. But spewing cat zits? Pretty darn gross!!

i dunno. i'll take cat zits over anal glands any day. anal glands STINK!

so, can it be said that madeleine has expressed herself? or does that term only apply to anal glands? either way, hooray for simple squirty solutions.

EW!
no, i think only glands get expressed. zits get popped.
