I don't know what they are.
But they look blackish brown and they are small.
They are located on my kittens chin.
I managed to get a few out of his chin and was able to pop them with my finger nails.
They kinda seemed like lice eggs.
Are they flea eggs?
Its not dried food for sure!
It looks nothing like food.

They are probably Stick Tight Fleas like she said.
They are really small and hard to see. You can pick they off with a tweezer and drown them in rubbing alcohol.
They can be prevented with flea control.

They sound like flea eggs to me for sure. It is very common for puppies and kittens alike to get flea eggs in that area. You should bathe it, take it to the vet and start it on Advantage flea medication for kittens, but if that is out of the option, there are other good flea drops you can get at a grocery, pet. or drug store that should do the trick.
Don't be too worried though, your kitten will be fine. Sometimes kittens get parasites (worms) from eating fleas, so it would really be best to have it checked out by the vet.

I don't believe cats get lice. Flea eggs are too small to see without a microscope. It sounds like your kitty might have cat acne on its chin. My cat has had that before. You can either leave it alone (it shouldn't bother the kitten too much) or take it to the vet, who might be able to give you something to clean the area with. But anyway, probably not eggs.

Sounds like fleas to me .. One of my cats when we first got her, she had little black things in her chin that you really had to look at to see if it was moving. Come to find out they were fleas and their eggs .. get kitty a flea collar or take him/her to the vet and get the drop you can put behind her neck. good luck!

It sounds like "kitty acne." Really, don't laugh!
We had a cat that got these and took her to the vet. It ended up that the food bowl was plastic and bacteria settled into the crevices in her dish and the result was acne. The vet prescribed a wash for her where we had to lightly scrub her chin until it cleared up.

They sound like stick tight fleas--little tiny fleas that attach and don't move around. Flea eggs are white and very tiny. Do you have poultry like chickens? They are often called chicken fleas. Hard to say without seeing them.

why are you saying that ir looks like eggs when it isn't?
well, I used to have a cat it would probably be something he picked up but if I was you I should go to the pharmacy or the pet shop and get some kind of shampoo for ticks or fleas and second off cats or animals don't have live only human beings. =D
