Why is my cat suddenly losing hair on her ears, tail, and face?

Question

So my kitty came inside yesterday and i noticed she suddenly was missing hair on front tips of her ears and some of her tail and sides of her face, which is what I tried to get a picture of in these pictures attached. If you don't have a clue, I'll try to take better ones. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 2 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Pazoo could have been in a fight with another cat and the scabs are from a wound. Other causes are scratching from allergies or fleas. Also ring worm can look like that as well. I recommend taking her to the Vet to have her examined. Ring worm is diagnosed by a fungal culture. I hope this helps and I wish Pazoo a speedy recovery!
