This could be due to stress. One of the ways cats deal with stress is by grooming themselves for comfort. The bald patches are a result of over grooming and the over grooming can beome a habit. When we had a break in at home one of our cats became totally bald from the base of his tail to half way up his back, the same thing happened after we moved house (hes fine now). Try to think of any changes at home that may be stressing her. Is she being bullied by the other 2 cats? If you can work out the cause then you may be able to come up with ideas to reduce the stress. Good Luck.

baldness in cats is usually due to them over-grooming their selves. Our cats do the same thing. It may be down to fleas or worms, so try using Drontal worming tablets every couple of months (it wouldnt hurt to do it anyway even if they dont have them), and frontline spot on for fleas (again it wont do the any harm). You could also try brushing them every other day or so, as it could also be loose hair under their coat thats irritating them.

Get yoour cat a little Jumper(incase its gets cold) If you vet says she fine then don't be worring. Most people would not even have bother to take her to the vet, So good for you and a thumbs up

How strange. Well if vet has thyroid tested her and she's ok, and she's fit and healthy otherwise I'd not worry too much. Just feed good food,de-flea and worm regularly,that's about all you can do

i dont know how to fix it but you could always try keeping her inside because there might be a virus or somthing in the air by the way i am training to be a vet in collage so when i find out ill tell u

Mix a small amout of gelatin and some vasaline into his diet.
One will help with coat and claws the other will help with hairballs.

Perhaps its mange? Get a dolls jumper and put it on her to keep her warm during the winter or keep putting olive oil to encourage hair growth.

my cat gets bald patches if he unfortunately gets fleas.
he actually has an allergy to fleas that makes his fur fall out.
