The cat's hair follicles are damaged and do not grow hair. The cat may be infected with tinea felis, which will cause regional hair loss in the cat. It is recommended that the owner isolate the cat in time and take it to the hospital for examination and drug treatment. Only after the cat ringworm is cured can new hair grow back in the bald area.

Cat ringworm

After a cat gets tinea felis, the cat’s living environment and the cat’s utensils should be thoroughly disinfected, then the fur on the cat’s infected part should be shaved off, and the cat should be given medicine according to the doctor’s instructions. When applying ointment to your cat, remember to wear an Elizabethan ring to prevent your cat from licking the ointment. Cats suffering from cat ringworm have greater nutritional needs. It is not enough to just feed cat food. They must also feed some nutritious foods, such as chicken breasts, fish, fruits and vegetables, etc. Only with nutritious food can cats have better resistance and return to normal. You should always take your cat to bask in the sun, which is also good for its skin.

Cat alopecia areata

It is also possible that cats lick their fur frequently, causing local hair follicles to be damaged and the hair to lose its ability to grow. This condition is generally called feline alopecia areata. The cause of alopecia areata in cats may be that the cat is stressed and always licks its fur, licking its body bald, or it may be that the cat lacks nutrition. The simplest way is to put a hood on the cat first to prevent the cat from licking excessively and causing hair to grow back. It is best to wear it until the hair grows back and then take it off.
