My cat has these weird spots on her arm and we are worried, she has been missing for three months and then came back, so maybe something happened during that period.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Rose! I am glad she is home! The spots could be an infection, from fleas , healing bite wounds or ring worm. I think it is best to have your Vet examine her for multiple reasons: 1) she was missing for 3 months 2) she should be dewormed 3) make sure her vaccines are up to date and consider boostering her rabies due to the possibility of those being animal bites and 4) she should be put on antibiotics for the wounds. I hope this helps and I wish Rose a speedy recovery!
