my cat lickes his self in spots until his hair is gone down to his skin

Answer by Kate
this could either me a skin condition which is irritating him or it could be what is know as over grroming which is caused by stress.

Please see my page about the problem here https://www.our-happy-cat.com/cat-hair-loss.html it will help you to understand the problem more but really you will need to get him to a vet to diagnose the problem properly.

Best wishes and a happy new year.
