You know what? That's just really odd.
Do you have more than one cat? Not that I know of cats having this issue, but mice do...
...for you see...
I have two mice. And well, I've realized that one is whatis termed a "barber". Yes, she gets overzealous with cleaning her roommate, and chews the 2nd mouse's hair off. The poor little dark brown mouse has huge bald spots on her back and neck, and has no whiskers - all because her sister has removed them. The dark brown mouse used to have a very lovely coat.. but no longer. I had thought that the brown mouse did it to herself, until I watched them grooming one evening, and the white mouse had the brown on squeaking angrily, trying to escape her chewing of fur. I separated them for a moment, but knew that sadly, there was little I could really do about it.
So... what does this mean for the cat? I have no clue.
Look for signs of skin irritation in the area of hair loss... also, look for signs of a skirmish with another animal. Best of all, take the cat to a vet and see what they say. With mice, anyway, there are a multitude of reasons for fur loss... for all I know, it is the same with cats.
