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?

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.

Thanks, Rhonda.

I'm not sure if and when we can get her in to see a vet.

Would penicillin cure ringworm? I think I can get my hands on some through
mail order.

No it won't. Call a vet. Hawk something if necessary. You have to know what
it is to treat it. Please, get her a vet.

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.

Incompetent ownership?

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

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.

My Carter has the same problem, turns out it's an allergy to fleas.

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
