My cat is losing a lot of hair why nothing as change.

My cat is losing lots of hair I don't know what to do.

How old is the cat? Where is it losing hair (ears, tails, back)? Male or female? Is pregnancy a possibility? Is the cat allowed outside?

Has anything changed? Brand or flavor of food? Number of cats in the household? Number of people in the household? Cat's energy level? Have you moved recently?

My cat is 1 year old,is losing hair in is back,she's female,no she can't be pregnant as she's not a outdoor cat and is no more cats in the house.nothing has change,I try lots of difernt foods as she's a bad eater,and I live in the same house.thank you

If you change the food often, then it might be that. Have you tried one in the past couple months that you hadn't tried before?

If hair loss is the only symptom she has, then it's probably either stress from something changing, like food, or an allergic reaction to something, like food.

Try putting her on a food you've used prior to the past 2-3 months and keeping her on it. Watch her for the next couple weeks. If the hair loss doesn't start clearing up, or there are ANY other changes in her behavior or appearance, get her to a vet.

I am trying felix the food she's was in before around 4 days but she doesn't like much. I was giving her gourmet for the last 2 months.

OK, then stay away from gourmet. It may take as much as a week, or more, to start seeing a difference. Not only does the old food have to make it's way out of her system, but the hair also has to start growing back.

Just be sure to keep a CLOSE eye out for any other changes. While hair loss can be caused by an allergic reaction or stress, it can also be caused by several severe illnesses. As long as hair loss is the only symptom, then it's probably something minor and easily fixable.

If the hair loss continues to worsen, or anything else changes, then get her to a vet.

Hheath, I guess since you are on here, you didn't get attacked by any tornados. Just checking...

As for food allergies, first they can develop later, rather than from a change in food. That is, they can develop problems from the same old food they've been eating for years. You can also look at the ingredients of an old food and a new food and see if there's an obvious difference. The "usual" culprits are things like corn, wheat, other grains, glutons, but there can be problems with other things. (It's difficult to check the long list of supplements and such, but you can check about the first 10 ingredients and see if there's something in the new that isn't in the old. And be careful of minor differences in wording cause that might be it.)

And it can also take a good couple of months for a food "allergy" to clean itself up. The best way to test for a food allergy is to stick to things like poultry, rabbit, duck - stay away from seafood, beef, pork - and no grains. Feed that food for a good couple of months and see what happens. That can, of course, be impractical.

Just plain dry skin can cause problems, but that's usually cause of itching and that isn't going to be likely if it's the back only. Are there any signs of rash-type things or red stuff, scabs, etc?
