Kitten going bald?

Biscuit is now 12 weeks old ish and is a fluffy moggy she's doing really well and gets on brilliantly with Peanuts but Snoopy still hates her
I noticed a week or so ago that the fur on the back of her neck seems to be disppearing I did start to freak out about it BUT then I saw Peanuts grooming her so this is clearly the reason for the hair loss.
How do I stop her doing this as biscuits neck fur looks pants now

Re: Kitten going bald?

I might be wrong but I think when a cat over grooms it can be down to stress or not enough stimulation? Anything happened last couple of weeks that would make one of the cats feel unstable or stressed? xx

LOL i doubt it!

If you see her doing it you will have to deter her but then if it gets any worse then maybe phone vets for advice?
Im not sure there is alot you can do with an over grooming cat except try change its behaviour?
