Men aren't only ones losing hair over stress

Article

Nervousness and emotional stress can drive a cat to go bald, although it's rather uncommon, reports the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association.

Nervousness and emotional stress can drive a cat to go bald, although it's rather uncommon, reports the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association.

If no physical problems are present, the cat may just be stressed out and may respond to tranquilizers or antidepressants. In a study of 11 cats, nine grew their fur back after a tranquilizer treatment. One did not respond to treatment; and one spent a large amount of time grooming herself to the point where she was pulling fur out at the rate it was growing back.
