Hair loss in cats can be a sign of a number of different medical conditions. Consult your vet if you’re unsure why your cat is losing her hair.

Internal parasites usually live in a cat’s digestive system and are detected by an examination of your cat’s stool. Treatment can begin as early as two weeks of age and should be repeated at two to three week intervals, as determined by your veterinarian. 

Cats are very good at hiding illnesses and tend to shy away from contact if they’re feeling under the weather. Keep an eye open for the tell-tale signs of common health problems and complete a monthly health checklist at home.
