Cat licking fur till bald
I have had my cat (she’s 8years old now – American shorthair) since she was a kitten and has been is very good health since then. She has always been very good at keeping herself clean but in the past month or two I have noticed she has been licking her stomach and hind legs more than just cleaning. The fur in those areas is getting very thin and she keeps loosing more everyday. She doesn’t have any sores of any kind. What can I do to stop her from licking these areas and how to get her fur to grow back?
