Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / October 2006Cat losing a patch of fur
My cat, who is about 3 years old, has all of a sudden started losing fur in a 6 inch by 2 inch patch above her right rear leg. She is acting normal, and doesn't seem unhealthy other than this. Any thoughts? Kevin Maybe ringworm. Bring her to a vet. Gail > My cat, who is about 3 years old, has all of a sudden started losing > fur in a 6 inch by 2 inch patch above her right rear leg.

She is licking her fur off. It's an anxiety thing. Has anything changed lately that might be upsetting for her? My cat did this until I stopped my other cat from coming into her personal turf. Once I did that, her hair grew back. You may have notices an increase in upchucking hairballs due to the increased hair consumption. Some cats just pull the fur out, but mine licked hers off. |
