I adopted my cat from a shelter last year. She is British Shorthair so super thick dual layer coat. She licked all the long thick layer off leaving just part of the downy layer off. Was the stress of being given away and left in the shelter.

If stress, cats get caught in a cycle because licking releases their happy chemicals and they almost get addicted. Took a month to change the behavior and several months to grow it back. At the worst bit the thick layer never came back. Will grab her to show the difference.

There she is now. Only a slight light patch that doesn't come back right.

I'm walking around doing stuff hence several posts. Lol

We broke the habit by petting her or picking her up when she licked too hard or too long. Tried a onesie. Also applied an herbal gel as licking caused dryness too.

She did have food sensitivities too but different symptoms (burping, farting, throwing up sometime).
