We have a cat we're waiting to be old enough to pick up from a breeder/friend. He's pure white and ten weeks old. The breeder put collars on all the white ones so she could tell them apart. The cat that we wanted seemed to have a reaction with the collar. It lost the hair around the neck, but also lost hair on the tail and some thinning over the body as well. For the past week it's been growing back but now we're worried if it's something more than a reaction to the collar. None of the other three kittens who also had the same collar (but another color) had any reactions.
We want that cat, but we're concerned that this may be "the writing on the wall" for future problems. I'm worried that if nothing else, it shows that the cat is sensitive or has some sort of potential weakness or genetic defect since none of the other cats reacted. The breeder offered us a different one but we liked this one. Do you think it's a major concern and we should take the other one?
