yes on the belly of my Tortie girl after she lost her boyfriend she was really bonded with. Its usually from stress or grieving.
Shes an adorable tortie too! When I found a new boycat for her, the self over- grooming stopped. I will never have a solo cat after 19 years of watching bonded pairs.GET her a buddy ! If you can. I will only have more than one cat from here on out. My first cat was solo and it was not good to leave her all alone so much. Sorry Snookie rest in peace.

However, and

is right in what he says, it could also be fleas. Check her carefully. Or it COULD be a newly-developed food allergy.

If you are not using a flea preventative, I would for several months and see if the hair loss improves. The tail & rump are common places for hair loss due to fleas in cats. Some cats are super sensitive that it only takes one flea to cause a major reaction.
Depending on how old she is, I would tend to believe food allergies are less likely and hair loss due to food typically develop on the head and neck region.
Hope she can feel better soon! What a beautiful girl!
