I'm going to give you all the details on our cats so you can help me out. I have no idea if all of it will be relevant, but I'll put it out there, anyway.
2 male cats, Peter & Paz, born a couple months apart. Both black, both neutered, both mostly indoors (they go outside very occasionally). They're 2 yrs old now.
Paz, the thinner & younger of the 2, has always had a fine coat. Shiny, glossy, almost, a little longer than average short hair, and no bare or thin spots. Very sleek looking.
Peter is heavier, has a darker, thicker coat, but has some thin spots. He's been that way since we got him as a kitten. The thin spots are near his ears, above his eyebrows (do cats have eyebrows?
) and on the backs of his legs, near the joint. The vet didn't mention any issue w/ it so I didn't really worry much about it.
Last week I noticed Paz's fur looking very thin on his hind legs and underside of his belly. He doesn't scratch there and it doesn't seem to bother him, but I don't know what the deal is. We haven't changed food or litter or anything.
Any ideas what we're dealing with?
