Why is my cat's belly hairless and pink, yet seems perfectly healthy?

Question

8 yr. Old cat has hairless deep pink belly.... Seems perfectly healthy otherwise.... Not sure how long it's been like this

The hairloss and pink belly could be a sign of over grooming due to fleas or allergies which could be causing your cat to be itchy. If your cat is not on flea prevention it's highly recommended to get him started on one. You should get flea prevention through your vet because those products work much better than the over the counter products. If the hairloss and pinkness of the belly don't get better or if they worsen you should have your cat seen by a veterinarian to determine the cause so it can properly be treated.
