Hi
There are several different reasons for cats to loose fur.
Fleas
mites
skin allergies
Anxiety

because there are many different causes it is important that you take your cat to see a vet so that he can take a closer look to see if there are signs of skin parasites etc.

Only when these things have been eliminated can you assume that it is due to anxiety.

i have a web page about some of the reasons why cats loss fur like this here
