cats need alot of fat in the diet. Omega-3s are added to the
quality kitten foods, kitten chows, like Eukanuba.

One result of using Eukanuba is a beautiful coat. It is sort of
a barometer for the quality of fat that is in the food.

Also check for fleas. With a white kitten it is easy to see them.
They tend to collect around the neck and tail area. An allergy to
fleas can make the hair fall out.

You can use a flea comb to comb the kitten and it will catch the flea and you drown it in a dish of soapy water or alcohol.
Remove that dish after combing so she won't try to drink from it.
When I adopted our 3rd cat, she was covered in fleas...I had to comb her every day for 2 weeks. This is the best way since the flea medications I think are very toxic.
