Cats groom themselves by licking and pulling at their fur with their teeth to remove anything stuck in their fur. If they are pulling out large patches of fur, resulting in bald spots, they could have a condition which requires treatment by a veterinarian.
maybe because she might have a skin disease or bad itch
I'm no vet, but I did have a cat doing this. It turned out to be a cancer in her belly fat that needed to be removed. Head to the vet.

∙ 13y agoThere are many reasons why a cat pulls out their fur. It could be due to fleas, an allergy to food or something in the environment (strong chemicals in bleaches/cleaners/laundry detergents can cause this), stress or an underlying health problem. It can even be that, if a long haired cat, the cat's hair is matted and the knots are pulling at its skin, causing great discomfort. It is advisable to go to the vet as they can help narrow down the possibilities and check for fleas and Allergies.
In the meantime, adding a little Salmon Oil or Evening Primrose Oil to the cat's food might help. Both these supplements are full of essential oils that promotes healthy skin and fur.
