My two year old mother cat recently developed hair loss starting at the tip of her ears and is working its way down. She also seems to be squinting and her eyes look like they are irritating her. Also, she just looks rough in the face, but other than that she seems fine. She is an indoor cat and the only interaction is with her two offspring, both female also. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Hi, Scomoh! Welcome to TCS!
If this was just fur-related, I'd attribute it to a possible allergy and query what you were feeding (kibble provokes allergies more often than canned), but because her eyes are also involved, I'd really urge you to go to a vet. I have no idea what would affect both eyes and fur, and you just don't want to mess around with eye issues.
Hope the diagnosis is easy to find and easy to treat!
