Can switching to yesterdays news cat litter cause hair loss on the abdomen or cause her to lick off the hair.?

Hi, I have an 8 yr old Tabby and in the last few months I noticed she has no hair on her hind legs and lower abdomen. She eats %26amp; sleeps well. Uses litter box regularly. She seems happy, friendly and purrs often. She grooms regularly. The only change was moving to a new house and changing her litter from normal gravel style to yesterdays news. She seemed to adapt well. What can be the cause of her hair loss?Can switching to yesterdays news cat litter cause hair loss on the abdomen or cause her to lick off the hair.?
Well, first thing to do is a trip to the vet to rule out any thing health wise. The new litter is recyled newspaper right? I wonder if she has an allergy to the ink that is used in it, and its making her itchy, which causes her to lick a lot. If the vet finds nothing, try switching back to her old litte.





Also, a new move could trigger over-grooming from stress. Cats often times get stuck in a cyle because they over groom, the spot feel funny, so they lick it, causing more over grooming, etc. If its getting very serious (red, infected), getting a cone (e-collar) and having your cat where it for a few weeks might be enough to break the pattern.Can switching to yesterdays news cat litter cause hair loss on the abdomen or cause her to lick off the hair.?
Sounds like she could still be a little stressed with the house move. Cats are very sensitive when it comes to a change of environment. You can get a spray called feliway from your vet. This spray is a friendly cat pheromone which makes your cat feel safe. It works well as i have used it many times.


The hair loss sounds like it could be a result of overgrooming.
yes, she can have an allergy to the fragrance they use. Change back and see if the hair grows back.
