you should put a collar or something around its neck that prevents it from eating its fur
If a cat is eating its own fur, this is usually a sign of distress or possibly skin disease. The cat could be come quite ill, so I would advise taking it to the animal doctor or a local animal welfare centre as soon as possible for a check-up.

Cats under stress will lick themselves repeatedly in one spot, often licking all the hair off that one area. Often the area will feel funny then, so she will keep licking it, which will make the area enlarge.
Another possibility, of course, is skin disease like mange; which is why you should consult with a vet.

∙ 10y agoCats love string-like objects. Their hair is very string-like, so they will want to play with it and eat it. Strings don't go through a cat's digestive system very well, though, so that is why they get hairballs.

Actually, this should be "The cat licked its fur". "It's" is a shortened version of "it is", so would not work correctly in this sentence. "Its" is usually used when something belongs to something else, like the fur belongs to the cat.
