He/She is nervous, stop whatever behavior is making him nervous, In my case it was my b/f and I arguing. I had to put her down. It could also be that he has fleas. Check with your vet.
The cat may be itchy, or be stessed or sick.
The cat may be "pruning" the fur- not really ripping off the fur. If they are actually ripping off the fur (literally) visit your local vet.
The hair loss around the back of your cat's head and neck may be due to a variety of causes, including allergies, parasites, or dermatitis. To determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment, it is best to consult a veterinarian who can examine your cat and prescribe medication or suggest a specific course of action. It is important to avoid self-diagnosis and seek professional guidance for your cat's health.
Absolutely not. It is painful and dangerous to pick them up by the scruff of the neck. The scruff of the neck cannot support the weight of an older kitten or adult cat; it will be painful for the cat and can cause injury to the cat's neck and spine.
If your cats hair stands up it means the cat is angry
The two endocrine organs located in the neck region of a cat are the thyroid and the parathyroid. Humans also have these organs in their necks.

Cat is dateing neck
A cat might shed large amounts of hair in the summer to keep cool. A cat might also shed large amounts of hair due to a skin disease in animals called mange. A veterinarian will be able to diagnose the problem.
If you're talking about the single-use parasite remover/preventer capsules, you begin by breaking off the seal tab. You then part the cat's hair at the base of the skull on the backside of the neck and gently squeeze the liquid in the capsule in a line along the back of their neck, going no further than the beginning of the shoulderblades. This prevents the cat from licking the chemicals.

NO. Even if the cat had "human-like" hair it wouldn't be human hair because it grew from a cat.
This is a very primitive reaction, 'hard-wired' into your brain. Same origin as a cat or dog raising the hair on their back - it makes you look more ferocious or at least larger. A related phenomenon is that the pupils of the eyes will enlarge if the back of the neck is stroked (for many folk anyway).
