It sounds like you're dealing with a concerning situation regarding your cat's hair loss and the appearance of brown spots on their underbelly. While it might not seem urgent since it hasn't worsened over the past month, it's still important to address the issue.

First, I recommend checking for fleas or parasites, even if your cat is wearing a flea collar. It's always a good idea to ensure there are no pests causing irritation. Next, think about any recent changes in your cat's diet, environment, or cleaning products, as these could potentially trigger an allergic reaction.

Additionally, observe your cat's grooming habits. Excessive grooming can sometimes lead to hair loss, so try to notice if your cat is licking the area more than usual. Keeping the affected area clean is also beneficial. You can gently clean it with a mild, pet-safe cleanser to help prevent any secondary infections.

Finally, if the condition persists or worsens, it would be wise to consult your veterinarian. They can perform tests to determine the exact cause and recommend the appropriate treatment.

If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, please feel free to reach out. Thank you for taking such good care of your cat.
