Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sadly your attached picture is of poor quality and I can not see the area of concern. Causes of hair loss are: trauma/rubbed it on something (got caught), skin infection, ringworm or mites. Also cats can develop a behavioral condition where they over groom. Please feel free to start a consult or repost with a different picture. I recommend that you schedule an exam for Koneko with your Vet when they reopen. I hope this helps and I wish you and Koneko a very happy new year!
