this is most likely ringworm, which can look a little like cigarette burns and often looks like a circle of hair loss.
it is very contagious so always wash your hands and keep kids away from the cat. You must see a vet o get treatment as it will otherwise spread to humans and other animals it comes into contact with.
You should disinfect everything the cat may have been near and you should keep it to one area if possible, whilst treatment ensues.
Do not avoid vet bills and do nothing as you and your family and others in your area could get this and also get scabs and lose your hair - which may not grow back.
Seek immediate advice.

The hair loss around the back of your cat's head and neck may be due to a variety of causes, including Allergies, parasites, or dermatitis. To determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment, it is best to consult a veterinarian who can examine your cat and prescribe medication or suggest a specific course of action. It is important to avoid self-diagnosis and seek professional guidance for your cat's health.

My horse at age 20 and not shedding is losing her hair WHY?
Your horse may have 'Cushing's Syndrome' which is caused by a tumor in the pituitary gland. It may be worth it to treat it if it is caught early enough. Have your vet see your horse. It's treatable with medication but not curable.
Why is my cat losing her hair on her back from the base of her tail forward to the mid of her back?
my cat also having the same problem. from my observation, this may due to her old age (for my cat's case) there may be other reasons as well. for example allergic to certain kind of food, and etc. if your cat is severely losing her hair on her front legs or any part of the body, do take her to the vet. but if the condition is not severe, then it is a normal condition and the hair will grow back later on.
