Has anything changed in your household recently? Fur pulling is sometimes a sign of stress if something has come into the home to upset her or she's just getting nasty vibes (maybe from a neighbouring cat). You could try Feliway diffuser. This gives off the scent of cat pheromones (to the cat - humans don't smell anything) and puts the cat at ease.
does she continually lick as well. If so she is causing an infection on her skin, and has an allergy of some kind. Ask your vet for a blood test. My cat has cost me over �1000 for test sent to the US and treatment up to now. The result is an allegy. I have a list of all the allergys that were tested for and found out that he cant eat mice, rice, and many other things. He has to have cotton beds even i have to use cotton on my sofa and bed as he gets up there as well. My vet has put him on a course of a brand new medicine. It is 3 injections. one is a Hormone one an anti bacterial for the skin and the other to gradually get him used to all the things that he is allergic to.He is also on a anti allergic prescription diet. Each time he has a set of injections which is only when he breaks out it is longer and longer each time. Last time was 8 months and with each treatment it gets longer inbetween injections. He will probably have this all of his life, but if we can get it down to one treatment a year ill be more than happy.
