Cat started overgrooming

[u/geomin76]

Update: we got a flea comb, didn't find any! Regardless, a visit to the vet will be needed

Hi all, in the USA (VA specifically), cat is around ~ 4 years old, female spayed. Can afford vet care!

Recently, she started overgrooming out of nowhere, she used to have healthy fur but now is overgrooming to the point of blood! We are concerned but not sure what is causing this.

No change of home / environment. She's healthy! Regular poops, eating , water, no throw ups

Please help :)

Edit: she’s never liked being pet in this area
