Why do some LaPerms sometimes go bald?
As part of the LaPerm coat phenomenon some cats will shed very heavily leaving them with sparse coats or bald patches. After a heavy shed the coat tends to come back in thicker and curlier. This can be affected by the cat’s hormonal cycle and often the coat becomes stable after neutering. Also nursing queens tend to have bald tummies which makes it easier for the kittens to find the milk.
