Strange hair loss around eye. Pic included.

View media item 251693
Any ideas on what is wrong with my cat's eye? It is losing hair, and it is both eyes. 

(Taking her to the vet as soon as I can get an appointment.)

-No tearing or itching or redness.

That is MOST unusual, and NO, I've never seen anything like it .  I'd be scheduling that appointment sooner than later. 

Weird.........

Hello,

Can I ask how your cat is doing? Did you go to the vet? I hope all is well.

A couple of days ago I noticed something very similar on my cat's eyelid. Only one effected, and no other symptoms, it just looks like hair loss there. I am guessing it will mean a trip to the vet, but any feedback/insight would be appreciated.

Did you go to the vet? What did they say? They same thing is happening with my girl, also black.

My RB kitty would get this when her allergies were bad.  She would rub the hair off because her eyes were itchy.

Hi stephanietx , could you give more details on your RB kitty's allergies?

Was it to her cat litter? To certain ingredients in foods?

She had airborne allergies/seasonal allergies.  We took her to the vet to check her eye and usually got some drops and an eye lubricant.  We started giving her a daily antihistamine and the combination helped stop the itchies.

Now over a year later, but I just wanted to update this in case it happens to anyone and they are wondering how this resolved: the vet had a "wait and see" attitude, her hair grew back after about a week, and this has never happened again since, nor did it spread to my other cats. Remains a mystery lol.

Thanks for the update.  sometimes things like this ARE a mystery, just like with human medical conditions.  At least it resolved itself
