Poor Chopin! There are a number of different things that can cause bald spots and hair loss like this in cats. Some common possibilities would include allergies, fleas, a bacterial or fungal skin infection, or skin mites (mange). Treatment will depend on what the underlying problem is, so I would recommend taking him to the vet for an exam when you are able to. Your vet can do some simple skin tests to help diagnose the problem and get him started on appropriate treatment depending on what is found.
