My cat has a bald spot. Is it from fighting or should I see a vet?

Question

What does this bald spot on my cat mean? Should I take her to a vet or could it be from her fighting the other car at our household? The spot has been there for a couple of days and she's been acting normal. Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | spayed | 9 years and 9 months old | 6 lbs

It could be from fighting with another cat in the house. It doesn't look infected or sore, so I'd just keep an eye on it for now. If it gets worse, appears infected, or starts to bother Ashley, then I'd have her seen by a vet.
