The reason cats have these bald patches is to give the impression the other animals they are awake when infact they may be sleeping. The patch looks brighter than the rest of the body therefore looks like an open eye.
Maybe not to us though.
Only really needed by wild cats to protect themselves being attacked by other animals.

A cat has very sensitive whiskers. Nature has made cats heads to fit in small places while being able to sense it's prey. Hair around the face, eyes, and ears can interfere with the cats ability to sense with it's whiskers.
Whiskers being the most sensitive of hairs can receive cross signals from other hair touching it. This is why nature designed cats with this almost bald area on the face and between the ears.

Millions of people all over the world are affected by hair loss, and it's not only the males that suffer this condition as even females are affected by this problem. What's sad is that many of the individuals affected by such a condition end up just accepting what is happening to their hair due to lack of information or options.

According to a feline veterinary specialist I used to work for, it is feline pattern baldness- similar to genes some humans inherit.
