If its an outside cat it can be many possibilities. It could have gotten in a fight with another animal or even fell and hurts itself. If its an inside cat there are many possibilities as well. All in all, if the cat seems to be moaning or seems very hurt you should bring it to the veterinarian as soon as possible.

This could be a variety of things. Flea bites can cause nasty sores if the infestion is particularly bad, or if your cat has an allergy to fleas. It could also be some other parasite, allergy (food can cause flaky and itchy skin if it has been changed recently or it could be some other external factor) or some kind of dermatitis. It is advisable to take your cat to a veterinarian as soon as possible as they will be able to diagnose the problem.

The cat very likely has a skin condition or irritation. The most common cause of scratching, biting, and fur loss is----FLEAS! Treat the cat with flea med and anti worm medicine. If the skin doesn't start to heal, see a vet.

The cat could be allergic to fleas. Take him to the vet to get him checked out, and treated for fleas.
