Hi there...cat mange can be one possible cause, however ringworm or other parasites, allergies and/or feline disorders such as Cushing’s disease, Addison’s disease, Hyperthyroidismm and Hypothyroidism can all may also be a culprit to the hair loss.

Yes, cats can get mange, as can you. And it is serious. I believe that if you squeeze the skin that is missing hair gently, some fluid will come out if it is mange.
If your cat is acquiring bald patches, I think you'd be best taking him to the vet.
