Default My cat has "bald-belly syndrome"

I've read in this group about several cats, particularly black cats, with
this bald belly business. My own black cat, Sapphire, developed this in
1996. I was under no stress at the time and neither was she.

There was no physical problem. The vet had me rub her belly with lemon
juice. She licked it off. He tried a few medications but nothing worked.
He then said he didn't want to keep medicating an otherwise healthy cat.
For the next 10 years her belly and insides of her back legs were bald. It
didn't show unless she lay on her back.

Bottom line, it seemed to have no effect on her life.

I did it right the first time.
