O-H-I-O!
I don't know if this should go in this forum or the Health and Nutrition but I'll give it a go. Recently, I have noticed a bit of fur missing from Oscar's front two legs. Just a small patch on each leg. He is eating normal, playing normal, etc. Nothing out of the ordinary. Just wondering if he could have just dandruff or itchy skin or something. It just started recently....

It sounds like he might be overgrooming.

Have you mentioned this to your vet? I think a vet trip and meds are likely in order.

Sounds like ringworm - a fungus that can be spread from cat to cat or to humans. I'd make a vet appointment and have him checked out.
