How do I solve/prevent feline hair loss?

My hampster suffered something like this also. He had mange. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mange You may want to take her/him to a vet and get it checked out.

Thanks . . . good thought . . . hmmm . . . can a pet that has not been exposed to other animals (ie: indoor only) contract mange?

Just to be safe, I would definitely take your kitty to the vet if I were you. Sometimes things like this seem innocuous, however are the beginning signs of things that can be more serious. Good luck, and please let us know how it goes.

My hamster was only ever inside. We had 2 cats at the time also, but neither of them showed signs of mange. I really don't know how he got it. Unless the cats acted as carriers. I suppose anything could be a carrier of it really.
