Question
MY CAT HAS A BUNCH OF BLACK HEAD LOOKING SORES ON HIS MOUTH THAT JUST APPEARED THE BIG ONES ARE FALLING OFF LIKE HARD BALLS BUT THERE IS NO SMELL DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE  

Answer
Hi Sara!
Are you feeding your cat from a plastic bowl? If so, your cat could have an allergic reaction to the plastic. Switch to an aluminum bowl or some other type.  If you are not using plastic, then it could just be feline acne. Scrub the chin with a soap lathered wash cloth, rinse and repeat daily.  I hope this helps.

God Bless,
Becky
