Is my cat's sparse belly fur normal, or should I take him to a vet?

Question

Although my cat's fur is shinny and smooth, he has a sparse coat, especially on his belly. I can even see his skin through the coat on his belly. He's not shading a lot, and not licking himself all the time either, so I'm confused about whether it's some illness or not. Is there anything I should do with this? Should I take him to his vet? And is there any way I can help him to grow more fur? His a domestic medium hair, 10 months old. Thank you.

From the pictures this appears to be normal. I would not be concerned about Schrodinger's mildly thin coat on his abdomen unless he starts over grooming or itching the area. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
