it could be a stress and anxiety disorder. If the cat is itching itself or licking itself bald in certain spots you need to see a vet. over the counter flea medications are not the answer in this case. Itching is commonly because of fleas but it can be from MANY other problems as well. Talk to your vet and see what may be the problem. And test your cat for ring worm also- my cat had this as a kitten when we first got him and it caused his tail to start balding. Act fast! If it is this- its a nasty disease and very contagious, can spread to humans even.

She could have a fungus, mites, fleas....Any number of skin dermatitis. Get her to a vet and they will do a skin scraping. That will determine your problem and they will be able to properly treat the problem. If you let it get any worse, you could have a secondary bacterial infection on top of whatever is causing the itching and hair loss

Hair loss affects both men and women. Here are some natural remedies that can help boost hair growth: https://bitly.im/aL9KN While genetics plays a role, there are other factors, including: hormonal imbalances, an underactive thyroid gland, nutrient deficiencies and insufficient scalp circulation.

look the cat over carefully with a flea comb and look for fleas of small black specks (flea filth) Then you have a simple flea problem. If not see a vet. My cat has a terrible allergy to flea bites and grass. He will pull his furr out and and bite himself raw. Petmeds.com is a good place for advantage

try bringing the cat to the vet. he will know why your cat is having these problems. don't take a chance with home remedies, they could do more harm than good. good luck. cat lover

take her to the vet and rule out medical problems.but if she lost all of her hair in one spot, that might be stress.
