Kitty cuddle worm worry
Scottish Daily Express
|July 07, 2025

It is not uncommon for GPs to ask the patient's vet to check the family pet as a possible cause of skin problems. Ringworm is a fungal infection, in spite of its name, and the fungus, overwhelmingly the cause in cats is Microsporum canis.
It was first isolated from dogs in 1902, hence the name, but it most commonly infects cats.
