  If it started on one, and then went to another, sounds to me like it may be mites, fleas, or ringworm… might want to check them.

  If they go outside at all, they can get mites, fleas, ringworm, all sorts of stuff just by being out there. I’d suggest taking them to a vet if you can’t figure out what it is that is causign the fur loss.

  If it is ringworm, take them in ASAP. That stuff stays in the air and on surfaces for months and is extremely persistent.

  Are they licking the hair themselves? I know if cats are stressed out they can lick themselves bald. Is there a neighborhood cat spraying in your yard? If it’s stress related it can be a number of things.

  Our cat tipper who died a few years ago from tumors, had a bald stomach probably for two years because she licked herself a lot on her stomach the vet almost gave her a cone so she would stop. do you see them licking there stomachs?

  no they grrom themselves but no more than normal… my mom checked them over last night and there are no signes of fleas or mites….. (she used to be a vet assistant, youd think that she would know to take them in to an actual vet!)
