There is an abandoned cat I care for outside, he is super friendly and last year I got him neutered but don't know his age, vets guess around 8.

I was brushing him, and noticed so many clumps of hair coming out easily. I kept brushing because he liked it, and from the back of his neck to base of tail the hair all came out and he has a line of just plain white skin! The skin looks normal and not irritated, but this is very bizarre! What could cause this and will it grow back? During Winter when I brushed him this didn't happen, only now during shedding season.

Poor baby. Is he on any monthly flea treatment? It could be fleas or mange.
