(London u k )

I have a 3 year old cat who has

a Stress free life with no other cats but I recently saw that he has 2 bald patches around 2 nipples
Is this anything I should de worried about?

Answer by Kate
well the only real way to know for certain is to get the vet to check the skin. he may have a skin allergy or a parasitie that is irritaing the cat making him over groom in that area.

Perhaps keep an eye on him for a few days and see if you notice him grooming a lot in that area or if he is showing any other sysmptoms of irritaion etc. It may just be a temporary fur loss or it may need some treatment in case it is a condition that may spread.

I have a male cat that I've had for almost his whole life along with his siblings (they're all about 3 or 4 now), and he's just had small bald areas around his nipples. The skin has never looked irritated or anything, his nipples are just bald.

Our male cat is bald around his nipples. We have not noticed him over grooming g and he is very healthy.
