I have never had any dealing's with Alopecia as I only deal with breeder's who show, and scan "ALL" of the cat's they breed for HCM. While I am not saying these statment's are not true people must understand URI's are common in most cat's and even more so @ time's of stress such as a plain ride ,ect... One thing people also need to relize is that a kitten can devlope fuzz ,and some even alot it is very common in queen's that are not spayed. These thing's can happen no matter who You get Your kitten from what make's a breeder a bad one is when a kitten has something genetic ,and they do nothing to correct it.It is very true that some buyer's are never happy no matter what You do . In the end these are live animal's,and stuff does happen no matter who the breeder is.
