Teaching goals

• Cats show unique reactive and lesional patterns in their skin conditions. These reaction patterns reflect the skin's response to various inflammatory stimuli, and they are just that in themselves: patterns, not definitive diagnoses.

• The most common reaction patterns are: self-induced alopecia; head and neck pruritus; miliary dermatitis; eosinophilic granuloma complex.
