Nephew has kitty that is pulling fur out around her neck. Could it be mites? And if it is, how can he get rid of them? Thanks. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 8 lbs

Tuna could have mites, fleas, allergies, or ringworm. Your nephew will have to take her into the vet to get the cause diagnosed and the vet can prescribe the correct medication for her. I'd take her into the vet tomorrow. Best of luck.
