Is this a trick question?
Could be mange, could be dietary, could be stress...

Your cat sounds like she's nervous or terribly stressed out. Have you moved to a new place, got a new pet, or maybe a new baby? Any of these can cause your pet to begin licking themselves as a coping mechanism.

Take her to the vet if you can.

Did you ever think of taking your cat to the vet?!

Be responsible! What if the fur never grows back?

True. A cat who licks off all her fur needs to see the vet. This is a stress disorder. The vet can help.
