What causes my cat to chew fur off her tail and back with no fleas?

Question

My 2 year old cat has been chewing the fur off her tail and lower back. What could this be? I dont see any fleas. Pet's info: Cat | Aegean | Female | unspayed

Allergies would be the most common cause of chewing/itching and hair loss if there are no fleas. Cats can be allergic to proteins in their food or environmental allergens like dust mites, molds and pollens. I'd recommend making an appointment to have your vet examine Kolbi.
