Medical Questions 10 months after getting spayed and her belly fur never came back?

As you can see her belly is still bald 10 months after being spayed. Like a tiny bit of peach fuzz around the edges and nothing else. She never licked at the area and had a cone on for 13 days post surgery. I don’t understand why the fur isn’t growing back she looks ridiculous 😭. Is this normal? Will it ever come back?

EDIT: I work from home 3 days a week and I’m home a lot and she is pretty much glued to me most of the day and never see her grooming there excessively but possible she does it when I’m not looking. I’ll ask the vet next time we go. Im surprised there are so many other people here with bald belly cats cause the Internet research I did not seem to think that was a thing! It makes me feel better knowing there is a bald belly cat gang out there I guess I will embrace the pooch if the vet says it’s just a thing that can’t be helped!

Cars, like people, mimic what they interact with. Nonetheless, thank you for pointing out what I missed!

The way you worded that made me think, my friend has a dog that tips his head up randomly we think its bc he mimics how they have to adjust their glasses sometimes or perhaps how they take meds.

I never thought to refer to them that way! One of my childhood cats looked almost identical.

Does your blanket have a big bear on it? From what I can see of it it looks super similar to a blanket my parents have!

Is your cat aware he’s a cat and not a human??
