Tuxedo cat, brown freckles?

I was scratching Buddha's ears and noticed big brown freckles on the skin
between her eyes and her ears. They are not raised, and are not crud, they
are definitely skin discoloration. Where they are is in that place in front
of the ears themselves where the fur is sparse?

She will go in to the vet for a regular checkup next week. In the meantime,
has anyone seen this before?

Normal. Herrie - also a tuxedo - has them in the exact same place. Normal
even if not a tuxedo.

Thank you, Cathy. She needs one more health problem like she needs
a bigger appetite!

Biskit has that. But I'd also noticed when she was shaved for surgery
that every where her fur is black, the skin is black. The areas where
the fur is yellow, the skin is pink. I just figured those spots on that
sparse part is where the fur would be black. Guess not, since Tuxes
have them too.
When it gets warm, I'm going to get her a lion cut or at least get her
belly and chest shaved. She has long, fine, wispy,fly-away fur that
matts so easy. She's really going to look weird with spotted skin.

Good to know. They sure look weird. And FWIW they are not on
any of her white areas.

Sherry! I know things get dull sometimes but cat shaving?

Oh man. We *have* to do something. Her fur is long and real wispy. It
tangles so bad. I think she's really inept at self-grooming -- I think
she creates the matts herself trying to lick the part between the two
front legs. She had one bigger than a half dollar that I spent two days
getting out. Now she's got another one started. I have some clippers.
If I can get DH To hold her down, it might be enough to shave from the
front legs to about halfway down her belly. She'd look really weird
with a lion cut.

It's fairly common - the "lion cut" Sherry mentioned - for long-haired cats
who mat like crazy in the summer.

"Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one
elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and
splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then
providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and
material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his
way."

The orange cat in the pics actually *looks* like a lion! The cut really
looks good on him.
It also looks like the cat isn't shaved really close, unless the pic
was taken after it had grown out a bit. Bikkie's always on the
windowsill--like Garfield, she gets "trapped in a sunbeam". I wonder if
she'd sunburn.
