Why is My cat Losing Her Hair?
Cats are very much like us in regard to their potential health issues. The loss of hair can be just as disturbing for them as it is for us to see. There are many causes to this problem, some of which are attributed to mental and physical issues, some of which are down to the most normal of reasons. Some cases of alopecia (hair loss) in cats may require medical treatment by a vet.
Often cats may develop dermatitis or an allergic reaction to a certain substance such as foods, chemicals, fumes, plants, pollen or dust. These can be either be inhaled or in direct contact with the skin. Their skin can become red and inflamed, often showing bumps or blisters. This can then result in hair loss in that specific area or in their ears or coat.
