Does anyone know if cats can get Color Dilution Alopecia like dogs do?  I have a chihuahua who has it.  The reason I ask is my blue cream tortoiseshell has bald hair on her ears, but only on the blue coloring on her ears, she has cream tufts of hair on them.  She isn't itchy or anything like this and I think she has had it pretty much her whole life.  You can sort of see it in the pictures.  The longer cream hairs and no blue hair where her ears are blue.  She has no other hair loss on her body.

Gosh, I don't know.  If she's had it her entire life and it doesn't seem to bother her, I'm guessing yes

My tortie's ears look similar but they have always looked like that. She's 100% healthy
