If a cat is healthy, its fur will be very beautiful and feel especially comfortable to the touch. But if the cat gets skin diseases like ringworm, its fur will lose its luster. Moreover, ringworm that is difficult to cure can make the cat's skin look very disgusting. For most pet owners, this is something hard to bear. However, in real life, some pet owners lack enough knowledge about cat ringworm; not only can they not identify the symptoms of ringworm, but they also do not know whether it can infect humans. Let’s take a look below.

Although cat ringworm seems to be a disease only found in cats, in fact, cat ringworm not only appears on cats but can also be transmitted to humans. If we are careless when raising cats and do not promptly discover that our cat has ringworm, and continue to interact closely with the cat as usual, there is a high chance we will get infected with ringworm.

When we get ringworm, the first feeling is general discomfort, like not having bathed for a long time, with itching everywhere. Next, red small spots start to appear on the skin, sometimes red lumps like mosquito bites form. If we can’t resist scratching, the red spots and lumps will grow bigger. After a while, white patches appear on the skin.

Cat ringworm is like a skin disease in humans; once infected, it itches unbearably, and most people cannot endure it. Therefore, after noticing symptoms of ringworm, do not assume it will heal by itself. You must see a doctor in time. Let the doctor prescribe some anti-itch ointments to apply. Also, get more sunlight and avoid spicy and sweet foods in your diet, supplementing with more nutrients. Only in this way can you quickly get rid of the trouble of ringworm.

Of course, although cat ringworm can infect humans, this does not mean we should abandon cats infected with ringworm. As long as we pay attention to disinfection and avoid excessive close contact with the cat, infection can be effectively prevented.
