Pumpkin has a tiny bald spot on her foot, about an inch or two below her pads. There's a bit of dandruff but doesn't appear to be any kind of infection/fungus/injury. Could this just be in response to her walking a certain way and wearing down the fur? Maybe?

This mat caught my eye because of its size and texture, which traps fine litter rather well. It's large enough for jumbo litterboxes, which is also a plus. It's not quite as easy to clean as a...

sorry but i do think it is fungal
check with vet
I would treat it like a ringworm even though it is not like a regular ringworm
i dont think it is from walking a certain way but your vet would advise you further about that

You should probably check with your vet just incase.

A photo of it might help.
However, that sounds like the area some cats will "overgroom" down to bare skin. You definitely don't want to get ringworm, so a check at the vet would be a good idea.
