Cali has an ouchie...CONEHEAD!!

...but I'm not sure it hurts her. She was standing on me last night, she is an all white cat. I noticed a dark spot in her right armpit. Once I wrangle her down and get a look see I note she has a quarter size patch of fur that is completely gone and a nice patch of pink skin showing. Reexamined the area this morning (Dr Gayle, examining a squirming kitty on the kitchen island at 4 am this morning). She doesn't seem bothered by it, let me touch it. I will be calling the vet this morning to see if we can get this anomoly checked out.

that's one of those hard-to-reach spots on a cat's body. Fur gets matted there more easily than elsewhere. If the cat can't de-tangle the mat sometimes the whole wad gets pulled out by the roots. This is most common in long-haired cats or older individuals who can't groom themselves as well as they used to.

Do she and Diego playfight? It's easy for some fur to go missing when that happens.

Hope all checks out at the vet!

I checked her over very well this morning and didn't find any mats or other cause for concern. It's such a weird spot that I can't fathom what could have happened. Diego has been being a bossy boy lately and hasn't been very nice to his sister. I bought a feliway diffuser and thought he was behaving much better since. Perhaps the vet can give me a clearer idea of what caused this.
