Cat Losing Hair on Its Belly

By

Cats who lick excessively (barbering) ultimately end up removing hair and it may appear to be falling out. Barbering is usually an indication of an itch which may be the result of allergies or in the case of recent surgery may become habit as the incision heals and causes itching discomfort.
A trip to the vet after some careful observation will relieve kittie's discomfort and eliminate the need to lick to excess.

Check to see if they have fleas, that's what happened to my kitty.

I presume you mean de-sexed and at what age? Talk to your veterinarian. Has she always moved/tried to bite you?

Sounds like an hormone imbalance. My vet once told me my cat had a hormone imbalance and I said, "Great, does that mean she has to be on a hormones for the rest of her life". No, one big pill did the trick. Then she was fine.

It could be a hormone imbalance. Many years ago, we had a cat that was spayed too early, and she then suffered from eczema. She needed a daily dose of Ovarid. You should check with a vet.

My newly adopted cat of 2 months came to us with a hair problem. He is hairless on his underbelly and it goes up his sides some and seems like he loses more hair all the time.
