This appears like it may be anxiety/stress related overgrooming but a full skin assessment to rule out other possible causes such as fungal infection, lice and flea allergy is required before this can be confirmed. The recent arrival of a stray cat may well be related; a calming supplement or food and antiinflammatories by your vet may be recommended
