Hi,

I’m new to this site and i’m looking for information if anyone can help me. So, i have 2 kittens (around 3+ weeks old) and one of the kitten was eating her sister’s hair around neck and shoulder (often before bedtime) and now became bald on that area.

Is this normal for my kitten? If anyone can help me, much appreciated and sorry for the bad English (not first language).

Thanks,
Malik

I’m not sure what you mean about ‘eating’ the hair, but if she is licking the other one and making her bald, then you need to separate them and let the hair grow back on the bald kitten. Give the other one toys, stuffed animals (none with long hair that she could ingest and get lodged in her digestive tract). Maybe she just needs more human contact and nurturing and redirect her away from the unwanted behavior of licking hair.
