I am not back on the list, just had to reply to the emails I got with "one" answer. Mike Richards, DVM writes the following: "Cats have a pattern baldness (like human baldness) in wich there is hairloss at the base of the ears. This usually occurs in an oval pattern between the base of the ear which extends out close to the eye." (vetinfo4cats.com) To make this dog related, if you have a kitty like mine you don't have to run to the vet with the dog for a mange test. Whew....... Bye Bye 'til October 23rd.
