I know my Zelda girl wants to look her prettiest for all the boys around here, but this is getting a little ridiculous...

She's groomed herself so much on her back legs that the fur is really thinned out a lot. And she's got a nearly bald spot on one of her front legs. And I can't for the life of me figure out why. The skin doesn't look irritated - it's not red or flaky or bumpy or scratched up or chewed on. I don't think it's fleas. I haven't caught sight of any, at any rate. (Though finding a flea on a dark cat is not an easy task) She seems to feel fine - always running around playing with Mowg or being her cute, prissy self when she wants attention. Nothing new's been introduced to stress her out.

It'll be time to schedule an appointment for her yearly shots in another week or two, and I plan on asking the vet about it then. But I wonder if any of you experts might have some clue what's going on in that fuzzy head of hers.

(There would be pics, but alas I left my camera at my parents' house last weekend. )

Oh, and Mowg's spending less time on nonogetoffthecounter now that all the good stuff's been moved to where he can't get to it. The tape comes off tonight!
