She could have an allergy -- such as an allergy to fleas. One of our
cats would lose hair by his tail because of that. She also could have a fungal infection, such as ringworm. You would want to get that treated immediately. Good idea to take her to the vet to find out what's going on. Rhonda Jason Gastrich wrote: I have two cats that are sisters. They are about 2 years old. One has developed a weird condition.

I have two cats that are sisters. They are about 2 years old. One has developed a weird condition. It scratches it's back and hair has been falling off in clumps. There is now a bald spot right on her back by her tail and it's a few inches wide. Do you have any idea what the problem could be? I'm new to cats and I suspect the problem is some physical ailment rather than a psychological one, but birds will sometimes pull out their feathers when they are not feeling right. It's sad to see a parrot missing a large section of feathers and I just hope it doesn't feel as bad as it looks. A parrot without feathers looks like a scrawny chicken with more developed wings and a big pecker (beak, not the other thing you perverts). They probably taste like chicken too. Regards, Jason |

I take it prayer didn't solve the problem, so consider taking the cat to a VET, Jason, instead of wasting time in newsgroups. |

Do you have any idea what the problem could be? Fleas, roundworm, mites; probably something like that. Fairly simple to treat, but you should see your vet, and buy some armoured gloves if you have to give the cat a course of pills. |

This doesn't appear to be fleas.
Warning: It's not always easy to see fleas especially on a dark coloured cat. Try a flea comb. My other cat seems to be fine . . . if that's any help. One of my cats gets fleas very easily and the other seems almost immune to them. Sarrasine (the one whom fleas seem to adore) did develop some hair loss around her tail through I wouldn't have described her hair as falling out in clumps it was more that she seemed to be biting her fur (she had no skin irritation at all) as soon as we found an effective flea treatment, she stopped doing this and the hair regrew very quickly Someone suggested ringworm. The spot on Tiger's back is in the shape (roughly) of a circle. It may indeed be ringworm. They experience loss of hair with ringworm. It sounds to me like it could be ringworm Lesley Slave to the Fabulous Furballs |
