We have a cat that is only a few years old and about 6 months ago she
started losing her fur. The told us it was because she had flees. We put
her on Front Line, but her fur has not grown back. Have you had this
problem and do you have a suggestion on what we could do.

She could still have fleas OR she is allergic to the flea treatment.
What are you feeding her? Some Omega 3 & 6 oils might help the fur come
back.

Does she have any red spots or sores anywhere on her body? Is any of the
hairloss in a circular pattern or is any of her skin a bit scaly? Your vet
should be able to run a fungal culture to check for ringworm.

I had a similar problem and after about 2 years of my cat having a
bald stomach I found out she was alergic to the cat litter. I found
that any litter that says it is flushable works real well. I think it
has something to do with the clay in it.
