Dear friend,

It is very possible your cat has ringworm as that is very common this time of year. Please look at the photos on this site:

You can treat it with any human or pet fungicide like lamysil or desonex.

Let me know if you have any more questions. I will be happy to help.

Very sincerely,

Terri
