Hello. From the photo you uploaded, the hair loss, or bald patches, on your cat is most likely caused by dermatitis or eczema. Cat dermatitis can arise from different causes, fungal, bacterial, or parasitic infections, and each requires a different treatment.
I suggest taking your cat to a veterinary hospital for the relevant tests to find the cause and treat it specifically. Dermatitis is generally treated with oral anti-inflammatory medication combined with topical application, and the exact approach depends on the specific situation.

← It meows incredibly loudly—all kinds of crying. Lately it starts around 5–6 a.m. every day at that same time. Scolding does no good; it keeps crying even while being punished or with its mouth held shut; otherwise it just strings together all sorts of wailing sounds.
Yesterday my dog got into a fight and my cat got scared, hid under the table, and won't come out even when called—how can I help? →
