Hello, morningstar, and welcome!

I had a beautiful female calico that started loosing her hair. It was a sign of a serious illness. That might not be the case with your cat but if I were you I'd call the vet ASAP.

Good luck!

She was loosing hair around her back legs, mainly. There were no other symptoms until the illness had progressed. I'd give anything to have a second chance and do things differently. BUT - with your kitty it still might be something minor! Please let your vet see the cat sooner rather than later, okay?

Well it wouldn't really matter since calico is not a breed, it is just a color.
