Small bald spot?

Question

Chibi arm   I was playing with my almost two year old kitty today when I saw something strange on her inner right "arm." It was a small bald spot, about an inch and a half long, and an inch wide.  Some of her fur was pressed down on the area, but, it didn't look like it was irritated and I didn't see anything just under the skin. She's a gray medium hair cat, and, quite small for her age. She's very active and an indoor only cat. I'm taking her into get spayed in two weeks, but, until then I don't know if I should keep her separate from my two other cats. They all get along very well, and none of them ever go outdoors. I'm not sure if she could have gotten it from playing. This might be normal, but, until the day of the appointment I'd like to kind of know what this is. I'm not sure what to do. I've fed her the same food, I haven't changed it, nor the brand of litter I use.

Jessica,

To be on the safe side I'd take this baby to the vet just to confirm that what's going on isn't contagious... I think it's simply an obsessive licking issue which can happen in some cats, but it could be a sign of thyroid issues or ringworm so it's best to have her checked sooner rather than later. I doubt very much that this is ringworm, as I said it looks to me more like a food issue or an obsessive licking issue neither of which are contagious to your other cats.

Hopefully this information helps. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me again at any time - I'm more than happy to help.

Kind regards,
