She's an indoor cat, so rule out ringworm, it looks normal, and she doesn't seem to be itching or anything with it....

Is the cat still a kitten? One of my cats had that when he was a kittne, that was how we were able to tell the difference between him and all the other kittens (because they were all grey =] )
Anywho, if he is a kitten, I wouldn't worry about it, my cats hair grew in... if your cat is older, just ask you vet. It can't hurt to ask and s/he would be the best knowledgable to answer your concern =]

What does the skin look like on the bald spot? I know that cats are prone to ringworm. It is a fungal infection like jock itch or athletes foot. Does it look normal with a light red or pink circle around it? Possibly even a white powdery look to it? If so you can get any over the counter athletes foot or jock itch creme and put on it.

Could be ring worm. This is very contagious.You can catch it if it is ring worm.Take the cat to the Vet because Cat's don't go bald.

That is a normal spot that cats have. It usually does not have fur because that's where they're whiskers are nearby. If there was alot of fur, cats may have trouble feeling their way around with their whiskers. So don't worry!

THat is totally normal, that is a cat version of eyebrows. It is more pronounced in some cats then others.

best ruling out any medical probs first. Could be ring worm, skin conditions of results of having tic and fleas.
