My 4 year old cat appears quite healthy, but I just noticed that she seems to have a little bit of hair loss around the opening to her ears. Could be from scratching, but I am not sure.
Any ideas why this might be happening?

my cat had the same problem i know yours is a little younger then mine was at the time but it could be the same problem.. the vet told me she had something called hot spots. do you notice her rubbing or scratching her ears alot? it might even be that she has ear mights or very dirty ears so she is tryong to clean them. or maybe her hearing is staring to go and she is playing with her ears because of that... so to some it up i would check out these three things HOT SPOTS, EAR MIGHTS (cleaness) or possibly HEARING.
hope that helps some

Maybe- or a bad case of Ear Mites. Does He scratch His head alot ?? Either Way- you need to have a Vet look Him over . Cats can give Their diseases to Humans... -And I'll bet You wouldn't look too hot if you started losing hair around YOUR ears !!! :(

She can have some of mine, as I am experiencing hair growth in the ears, unfortunately.
