I’ve recently noticed these white spots on my cat’s ears and he’s happening to have more and more of them, what could it be?

Those white spots on Ed's ears could just be areas of normal pigment changes or areas where the hair is naturally thinner. As long as Ed is not itchy around his ears, does not have increased hair loss, and these spots do not get larger I would not be concerned and just monitor the area. If the area starts changing you can have Ed examined by a veterinarian and small samples can be obtained if necessary. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
