My cat is 4 years old. He is losing hair, but not to the point of being bald. Do I need to change his food? I am feeding him Whiskies. Or what else can I do?

Is he up-to-date on his flea treatments? Hair loss can be caused by a flea allergies. Use a flea comb and see if you can find any evidence of fleas.
Is the cat licking itself excessively? That can cause hair loss. We have a cat that does that and have not been able to find a solution, sometimes it's better than other times.
Food allergies can result in hair loss, so trying a better grade of food would be a good idea. Better food can be more expensive but generally, the cats won't need to eat quite as much.
It's definitely worth seeking the advice of a vet if it continues.
