My Bengal cat has pulled her hair out for 18months she has been seen by our vet changed. Food and cat litter no good she still does it she is now on Prozac and is no better she is a house cat and has lots of toys and attention and lives with her sister who is very happy kitty my son lived with us after a bad accident but he has known her from a kitten and only stayed a short time would this be enough to cause her problem and that was a long time ago please can you help I am at the end of my tether.

RESPONSE:

This could be alopecia, which is the name for cat hair loss. I did a page on this a long time ago because one of my cats had it. The link follows:
