Why are the cats bald on both sides of their heads? Cats have bald sides of their heads because they have no hair covering. Their skin is thinner than humans, so the hair falls more easily and the hair there will become thinner.

The hair on both sides of the head and under the ears of the cat feels bald. If the test is confirmed that there is no ringworm, it means that the hair there is not developed. The hair above the corners of the eyes on both sides of the cat will be looser than in other normal places, which is a normal phenomenon. Many cats have varying degrees of sparseness.

If cats experience pathological hair loss around their eyes, the most common causes are ear mites and ringworm. Ear scabies parasitize cat ears, irritating cat ears to secrete dark brown secretions, which have an unpleasant smell and itchy. Ringworm can cause round or oval hair loss, accompanied by red and swollen skin, white dandruff, small scabs, etc.
