Yeah that was more or less what I was thinking Sam. Its gonna be a big pain in the ass, which I can avoid by just not entertaining tkaing the kitten. My gut feeling is I want the kitten but its not worth it...IU have already started looking again. Too bad damn kitten was just so cute...oh well plen

Don't believe it's a non-issue. It's a major deal. It takes six weeks to six months to go away and it's highly contagious. Ringworm is a form of athlete’s foot but cats can't catch that. If you're very lucky it will go away quickly. If not you could end up throwing away all your furniture and carpe

Forgot to mention this is an exotic (short hair persian) so the hair stuff is not as big an issue as you may have thought.  I looked at persian rescue but nothing was in the area last I looked :(, we were going to look at a few other pet rescue places if this didn't work out.  We googled ringworm l

In my experience, every new pet comes with something. Of course, I believe in the free pet approach. Particularly with cats which we have always found as strays. And strays always seem to carry bugs of some sort. We've treated eye infections, worms, ear mites, etc. -Kevin On Tue, 21 Sep 2004 23:5

When I was at the vet this week, there was someone who was there with her kittens. She was doing a bunch of tests, cause one had what looked like ring worm and apparently on cats that can come with other skin diseases, too.  If it were me, I'd be telling the breeder that it's their responsibility t

You can get ringworm from pets - but it's like a small rash and you can use jockitch cream to help it go away. I had some earlier this year from one of the dogs. No big deal. If you google "ringworm" there's tons of info on the net ... As for the kitten - why not go to a persian rescue? Have you

Me and my fiance are looking to get a kitten, as I have mentioned in previous posts. We just found out today that she, the kitten not my fiance, has ringworm on her tail, but who knows where else it might show up?? So we have some major concerns about throwing down a couple hundred for this kitten.
