Hello, my kitten has a bald patch on her belly. She doesn’t lick or itch it, isn’t bothered by that at all. I have had her for 6 days and it hasn’t changed. What can it be? She’s extremely active, eats well, plays all day

It is possible that her mommy cleaned her a bit to vigorous and the hair should grow again. The skin looks normal, so there is likely no health problem. Unless the skin changes (red, pimples or blisters or a rash) I would not worry about it. Give the hair time to grow back.
