My cat is losing more hair than normal. What should I do?

Asked by rawrgrr (1568points) January 30th, 2011 from iPhone

My cat is 8 years old and recently she started losing lots of hair. I know all animals shed but she is becoming almost hairless on some parts of her body and its getting worse. We recently changed her food but I think it started before that.

It started at her legs first, then arms, and now stomach. What’s the cause of this? I will be changing her food soon if that’s the problem. What can I do to help her? I can’t take her to the vet yet unfortunately. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Here are some pictures I took.
