my cat has this patchy hair loss shows up today when we are home, he does not have this in the morning. Very strange, this does not look like a scratch, is this a cat mange?

[@]jingyue duan My boy pulls his hair out (has for the last 15 yrs). Our Dr says he's a "nervous cat". It's just something I've got to deal with. Had anything changed in your life or daily routine that might be stressing your little one out?

Hi, thank you for your reply. Our vet said the same thing that he may did this to himself....We changed his can food to another brand in about two weeks, that maybe the trigger.

I never thought about the food... That's a good idea. Did your vet give a reason as to why the food might make your baby do this?

Thinking I might try this on my bebe too

I don't know, I guess he just doesn't like anything been changed in his life. Haha, you can try to add the new food slowly and might help cats to adjust.  Vet prescripted our cat  "neomycin polymyxin dexamethasone" Ointment to use on his wound, which get itchy so he scratched it bleeding again, but now it getting better in this 1 week.
