Your cat needs to be checked out by your Veterinarian as it could be from many different things. It could be from fleas, fleas spend very little time actually on the animal. You should use a once a month flea repellent, such as Front Line made especially for cats only, just put it on topically once a month. It also could be from an under-active thyroid or Diabetes. So that is why your cat should be checked out by your Vet. Make sure you have your kitty on a good brand name of cat food and not some generic cat food. If it is from fleas, you need to get the fleas off and your Vet may need to give your kitty some injections to reduce the inflammation that is set up in the skin from the reaction to the fleas. You also need to know if this is caused by something else, such as the things I mentioned above. Good luck.

∙ 13y agoThis can be an allergic reaction.
Or, it might be 'cleaning' it's rear end by sliding on the floor, dragging itself by it's front paws.
It might be a diagnostic reaction that has been carried out through its feline generation.
Or a disease, unfortunately to say, cancer.
Make sure your cat is not having a rural fight with any other cats.
Also depends on your cats age - if more elderly than 10yrs, it might just be
age. We will all loose hair at some points.

∙ 11y agoThe most likely reason is a food allergy. Try switching to a grain-free or natural food. My favorite is Purina One Beyond. It'll take a few weeks to see results in the fur. Otherwise, you may want to start taking your kitty to the vet for routine allergy shots.
Another reason could be anxiety. Have you lost or gained any pets in your household? Have you moved, or has anything about your cat's normal environment or routine changed? I've found that playing with your kitty-cat several times a day at 20 minute sessions and leaving the tv on (Animal Planet is my cat's favorite) while you're away helps to relieve stress. It's a common misconception that cats are solitary animals who don't get bored or lonely. They need to be stimulated, petted, and given attention on a regular basis. They'll love you for it and reward you greatly in return. Good luck and great blessings!

my cat also having the same problem. from my observation, this may due to her old age (for my cat's case) there may be other reasons as well. for example allergic to certain kind of food, and etc. if your cat is severely losing her hair on her front legs or any part of the body, do take her to the vet. but if the condition is not severe, then it is a normal condition and the hair will grow back later on.
