Hair loss around the eyes sometimes can be completely normal and nothing to worry about.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cats grow as they age.  Sometimes their fur coat needs to spread out a bit to keep up with the growth of the rest of the body.&nbsp; If the fur on their face spreads out due to growth and aging, it can make it appear like there are bald spots or areas with thinning hair.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your cat\u2019s hair is thinning due to aging, don\u2019t worry.&nbsp; There is nothing that needs to be done.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the tricky part is that you may not be able to tell whether the hair loss is normal or something of concern.&nbsp; Read through the other possible causes below.  If you\u2019re concerned that one of these more serious issues is to blame, contact your cat\u2019s veterinarian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"allergies\">Allergies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve noticed that your cat losing hair near tear duct or other areas around the eye, it could also be caused by allergies.&nbsp; Cats who are allergic to a specific food, pollen, dust, or other allergen can feel itchy and irritated, just as we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your cat\u2019s eye area is itchy, they may try to scratch it to find relief from the itch.&nbsp; If your cat scratches themselves, they may end up pulling out some of their fur, resulting in the bald patches you\u2019ve seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fleas\">Fleas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fleas are a common answer to the question \u201cwhy is my cat losing hair and has scabs?\u201d&nbsp; Bites from fleas can cause cats to be very itchy.&nbsp; Scratching themselves to relieve the itch can result in hair loss.&nbsp; If fleas are on your cat&#8217;s head, and they\u2019re typically all over the body, then it is perfectly reasonable for there to be hair loss around their eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"stress\">Stress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do cats lose fur when stressed?&nbsp; Yes, stress sometimes causes a cat to overgroom herself.&nbsp; Overgrooming can cause hair loss.&nbsp; If you are concerned that stress is the cause for your cat\u2019s facial alopecia, try to determine what is causing the stress and work to remedy it.&nbsp; You can also contact your veterinarian if you don\u2019t see any improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This video will help you learn more about stress in cats and what you can do to alleviate the stress your kitty is feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stressed cats and how to deal with them\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/phy1kjmDJ78?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"genetics\">Genetics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Genetics may also be the reason behind your cat losing hair on ears and above eyes.&nbsp; According to some experts, there is a connection between hair loss and a cat\u2019s genes.&nbsp; In these instances, the hair loss isn\u2019t anything to be concerned about and won\u2019t require any treatment.&nbsp; Siamese, Birman, and Devon Rex appear to be some of the breeds most likely to be impacted by genetic hair loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ringworm\">Ringworm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black cat bald spots above eyes may also be caused by ringworm.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ringworm is a type of fungal infection that feeds on a cat\u2019s dead cells.&nbsp; It can cause hair loss when it reaches the cat\u2019s hair shafts by breaking them.&nbsp; This will result in bald patches.&nbsp; If your cat has ringworm, you may be able to see small red rings if you look closely at the patches on their skin.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do cat eye infections go away on their own?&nbsp; Sometimes ringworm and other infections can clear themselves up, but often they will not.&nbsp; It is best to bring your cat to the vet for treatment.&nbsp; The vet will likely prescribe an antifungal oral medication along with a topical ointment to help your cat heal and kill the spores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-to-do-if-your-cat-has-facial-alopecia\">What To Do if Your Cat Has Facial Alopecia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that we know some of the possible causes for facial alopecia in cats, you may have some more questions.&nbsp; What is the best home treatment for cat hair loss?&nbsp; How can I get my cats fur to grow back?&nbsp; These are all very valid questions, but the answer will vary based on the underlying cause of the hair loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are not sure what is causing your cat\u2019s facial alopecia, your first act should be to schedule an appointment with their veterinarian.&nbsp; They can help you determine the cause and recommended or prescribe an appropriate cat hair loss treatment,<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/tibi-the-cat-from-my-neighbors-stockpack-unsplash-480x720.jpg\" alt=\"cat losing hair near tear duct\" class=\"wp-image-720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/tibi-the-cat-from-my-neighbors-stockpack-unsplash-480x720.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/tibi-the-cat-from-my-neighbors-stockpack-unsplash-253x380.jpg 253w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/tibi-the-cat-from-my-neighbors-stockpack-unsplash-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/tibi-the-cat-from-my-neighbors-stockpack-unsplash-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/tibi-the-cat-from-my-neighbors-stockpack-unsplash-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/tibi-the-cat-from-my-neighbors-stockpack-unsplash-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/tibi-the-cat-from-my-neighbors-stockpack-unsplash-1568x2352.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/tibi-the-cat-from-my-neighbors-stockpack-unsplash-560x840.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/tibi-the-cat-from-my-neighbors-stockpack-unsplash-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/tibi-the-cat-from-my-neighbors-stockpack-unsplash-scaled.jpg 1706w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cat-hair-loss-around-eyes\">Cat Hair Loss Around Eyes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve been asking, \u201cwhy is my cat losing fur around his eyes,\u201d I hope you\u2019ve found the answers you\u2019re looking for.&nbsp;
