Cats are prone to residue on their chin after eating. Although they have the habit of cleaning themselves, the chin is a dead corner to clean up. Cats cannot clean themselves properly. Over time, they will easily cause black chin.

The stress response of cats

The stress response caused by environmental factors such as excessive stress in cats may also cause black jaws in cats. Stress may also cause them to excrete everywhere, suffering from other diseases.

5. Endocrine disorders

When the cat reaches the age of sexual maturity, the secretion of sex hormones in the body is too strong, which will cause endocrine disorders, which will lead to excessive oil secretion, which will cause black chin at this time.
