Hi, this is my first time posting on here so sorry if my text is all over the place, I'm very nervous at the moment :( I adopted a little rescue kitten that was found in a box about 2-3 months ago. The woman said she was about 8weeks old when I got her (ate solid food and went in the litter box). Anyways, I noticed a little bald spot on her forehead, a little above her right eye. It wasn't to alarming, no redness or anything. However, the bald spot seems to be bigger now, still no redness but the skin is weird (might be just her skin thought). I'm really wondering what it could be and I am starting to worry a lot :( she eats normally, plays as usual and it doesn't seem to itch. Does someone have similar experiences or would know what it is?

Most cats have less fur between their eyes and ears than the rest of their body.  This is not what you are seeing?  There is not a "matching" spot on the other side?  If not, then i would probably take her in to have it checked as it could be some sort of fungus that's causing it, although it's impossible for us to tell, really, via the internet, especially since we're not Vets

I think I'd get him to the vet for a check of that.  It doesn't look like the normal thinning of the hair that occurs as kittens mature into adult cats.
