Question

Hairl loss in clumps


Sent to Cat Experts March 27, 2006 8:41 p.m.

My 10 yr old cat is losing clumps of hair on his back by his rear section. It is on both sides of his spinal column. He doesn't like it when I pet him there however he is still very affectionate. I am wondering what might be causing this?

Howlong is he losing hair?
Does he scratch or bite at the spots?
Is he eating normally?
