Kingsley keeps pulling his hair out at the base of his tail/back area. I give him flea/tic meds every month. Our other cat doesn't have fleas either. Why does he do this?? Is it behavioral or health related?

If you’ve ruled or fleas, it could be some other allergy, though over grooming is not uncommon as a behavioral issue. Here is an article I think you may find very helpful. https://www.mspca.org/angell_services/overgrooming-cats/ Thanks for asking PetCoach!
