  It’s around the same – there isn’t much to go on to show this however other than some cat advice sites that say it takes around 4-6 weeks for a shaved patch to grow back – obviously as with humans, this can vary greatly between individuals and particularly breeds.
  
  Fur an hair is much the same across animals.
  
  My dad has been waiting for his bald patch to grow back for 30 years now…
