*Heat

*Stress

*Anxiety

*Submission

*Other underlying health issues

*Flea allergies

*Scabies or mange

*Ringworm





Not all of these are common causes for hairloss, but I would say the top two on this list are the most prominent!What could cause excessive feline hair loss?
If the cat has bald spots. it's time for a vet check with blood and urine work to see if thyroid disease, kidney disease or something else is causing the loss. If it is just lots of hair, then the cat just needs to be brushed. The Furminator works great on my cat as she loves it. If you cat has long fur, it may be getting matted and she is scratching it as the mats pull at the skin causing discomfort. Make sure that the cat is eating a healthy diet to include canned cat food.
Your cat needs to see a vet, it could be mange or something even more serious. I would not wait any longer.

last summer that happened to my cat. It was because it was extremely hot out and we had no air conditioning and she has black fur.
