Hello guys!
We rescued a part Siamese cat female last summer which isn't even a year old just yet as far as we can tell. She is sooooooo beautiful and playful but from time to time we noticed these little spots with chunks of fur missing and is red and hard to the touch. They come and go on different parts of her body usually around her ears, the back of her head and such. At first I thought maybe she was scratching too hard but they go and come and this one is the worst yet,









Any ideas, we are going to have to find a vet to look at her just want to make sure it's nothing going on we need to know about!!! She is such a good girl!!

Not sure what she could be reacting too...maybe diet? We have carpet but it's really thin and I vacuum regularly...I have allergies!

My first thought is allergies. Could be food allergies and you don't know it. Might be some type of infection. Best to let the vet tell you what he/she thinks it is. Please try post an update after the vet visit if you have time. Best of luck!

Is there a hole there, or just a black spot? Does she go outside at all? My first fear would be a botfly, but a small cyst is just as likely.
