Cats clean themselves by licking, so any loose fur ends up in ther digestive system which builds up into a ball in their stomach. Some hairballs get digested, but some eventually get rejected and so the cat vomits it back up. The only way to prevent this is by frequent brushing/grooming, or by giving a cat special malt paste to aid digestion and break down of hairballs.

Don't worry that is normal for cat's, their fur is supposed to fall out. in the winter it's so cold that their fur grows heavier to keep them warm, but when it gets warmer cat's fur falls out, they get hot because of their heavy fur, so they get rid of some of it then the cat's cooler now. it's called shedding.

Shedding, most likely. Unless there are bald patches in the animals body, it may be ill.
