My 5 month old indoor kitty has some fur missing on one of his ears. he never scratches there and it does not seem to be irritating him, but i'm starting to worry. He is treated for worms monthly since the age of 9 weeks and will be until he reaches 6 month old. Its not scabby and his diet hasn't changed apart from 1 egg white fortnightly... any ideas?

I would get him to the vet for a check up.  It could be anything from a food allergy to ringworm.

It's hard to see well enough from the pics, but I can tell you this, if the spot has NO fur on it at all, it may very well be ringworm.

If there is still sparse fur, it's likely something else.

Keep an eye on it and watch for anymore spots.
