Hello everyone, we need your help in trying to figure out why our one year old perssian kitty ( Marley ) has a bald spot under one of his arm pit areas. The bald spot doesnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t look to bad, but it has us concerned. He also seems to be getting a second one on one his inner back thighs. The areas affected donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t seem to have any blistering, pus or irritation……..and it doesnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t seem to bother him when we touch it. This isnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t the first time he had some bald spots however. When Marley was about 6 months old, his fur began to get matted in and around his armpit and rear upper thigh areas. It got to the point that we couldnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t brush it out and when we tried, we noticed that he was getting a couple of small balding areas in and around the matted fur…..so we decided to take him to a groomer to have his underside shaved. We talked to the groomer about his matted fur and the little bald spots and she agreed that they were probably a result of that. Well, fast forward 7 months, Marley and his fur (about 80% grown in and no matting what so ever) were doing fine…..until tonight. We noticed that he has another balding spot under one of his arm pits. We also noticed a second area that looks like it may be starting to bald as well. We took a picture of the balding area under his arm pit. The bald spots resembles a freshly shaven area, showing pinkish skin and what looks like dark stubble growing back in. There is a problem with the dark stubble though…..he is a white and cream colored cat. Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m actually not even 100% sure that the dark stuff is even fur stubble…………it may just be little dark spots…….
