Black cat that acts white......

Last time I took her to the vet for a rabies shot and general checkup, the technician commented upon this, and the vet said, "Yes, that's feline pattern baldness." LOL! I don't know about other colors, but every black cat I've ever seen has this, no matter how old they are. The area right in front of their ears is sort of bald. I don't think this is "pattern baldness" since they seem to be born that way. Joyce My Siamese cats are all thin in front of their ears. Jo |

I think it is just more noticeable on black cats. Cats usually like to have that spot scritched. As with ALL cats, the term "usually" is relative. (Mine enjoy being scritched BEHIND the ears, but if a hand approaches that sensitive area in front, they're off my lap and half a room away!) |
