My senior cat has balding spots on her back thighs. What's happening?

Question

Good day. My cat is 11 years old. She has two baldish spots on her back thighs, one on each side. The spots become slightly more visible. It started 4-5 months ago. I would appreciate any help. Thank you. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 11 years old | 10.8 lbs

Risia could be overgrooming, and that can occur due to stress, fleas, mites, allergies, or a medical illness like hyperthyroidism. I'd have her seen by a vet on Monday for a health check and a geriatric blood panel and urinalysis. Once a cause is found, the vet can discuss treatment options. I hope this helps!
