shedding hair in clumpsHey everyone, I dropped my daughter off at her friends house the other day and noticed a patch of cat fur on the front steps. It was quite large (approximately 4" long and 2" wide). I asked my daughter's friends mom about and she said that it just fell off of her cats stomach and that she didn't know why but she was bringing the cat to the vet. Does anyone have any idea what this could be???

I don't really know  Has the cat been injured in some way and the hair has fallen off with a scab? Please let us know what the vet says.... |

I'm stumped. Perhaps a skin condition. Hope the kittie is ok. |

when my cat was losing the clumps of hair and I took her to the vet, they found a stomach tumor and she died from cancer a few days later. Also, if it is a long haired cat they will rip their own matted fur out. I have a male himi that does this. If it was matted fur, this may be the reason, if not, better get to the vet and get this checked asap. |

It could also be stress related. Cats will pull their fur out if stressed badly. Pleae let us know the outcome of the vet visit. |
