Hi..
I was away for 3 days last week and had a babysitter for my cat. Dmitri is almost 4 years old and a stunning black tabby.
When I came back, my little guy has an odd white spot on one of his ears. It's on the outside, about the size of a pencil eraser. It's missing fur.
I checked for mites, but there are no symptoms. He's also not scratching it.. I don't think he knows it's there.
Any ideas? Maybe it was an accident he had? He's pretty aglie, but have missed the cat condo once or twice lately
Here's a pic, it's a bit blurry - he wouldn't stay still.
thanks for your help and Happy New Year!

Most of it grew back, though where she was burnt the worst it will never grow back. We have to watch her for skin cancer, actually. I'd just keep an eye on it - if you can't see the hair growing back in a week / week-and-a-half (or if the spot starts getting larger), I'd give the vet a ring.
