Mischief maker
Meet Fritz. He's a Highlander which is an experimental crossbreed between a Desert Lynx and a Jungle Curl. It was a little mean of me to introduce him when he's covered in lime sulfur because he's a darling kitten with a sweet, outgoing personality. However...
He was adopted a couple weeks ago by a wonderful family with two kids and four cats. First the daughter, then the son and then one of the young Bengal cats got ringworm. Nothing in their separate lives or environments had changed - except the addition of Fritz joining the family.
The Occam's razor explanation for both human and feline members of the family getting ringworm is that this little cutie is a carrier and has passed it along to some of his snuggle buddies. The two kids are now being treated with topical anti-fungal creams, the Bengal, who has ringworm on his ear, is on oral anti-fungal medication and all five cats had to have a dip in lime sulfur.
