Any idea what this could be?? There is nothing unusual looking on the other side of the ear flap. Atticus isn't scratching or displaying any odd tendencies toward his ears. There are just these odd bald spots.

You're right about his fur! I've always attributed it to his being raw fed. Atticus's fur is like buttah. It's velvety soft and totally addicting.

He doesn't seem to scratch at all. I'm going to see if the spots fluoresce under black light. The thing is, Atticus is an indoor cat and NEVER EVER goes outside. He's never even had grass under his paws.

Well, the spots didn't fluoresce under black light. I know that not all strains of ringworm do but the more commons ones do. I guess we'll be going to the vet. It such a pain because if I don't take both cats they will hiss at each other for at least a week afterwards.

No one else has ever seen spots like these?
