If your veterinarian can rule out a fungal and/or bacterial infection, then your kitty may have a condition called vitiligo. Vitiligo happens when the pigment cells in the skin get destroyed (Michael Jackson hat vitiligo....so that is what made his skin so white). You can find many photos of cats with vitiligo on line. The condition is nothing to worry about...it is just a "beauty" thing.
