Have you ever had a physical condition that makes you really feel like a disgusting example of a human? I've got one of those right now. A gift from my poor baby kitty.

Ringworm is a mis-named condition, having nothing to do with worms. It is more closely related to athlete's foot or jock itch, you know, a fungus. I don't know if having a fungus is really any better than having worms - they both sound nasty.

Buster is barely even affected by this - his neck and feet itch him for about 5 seconds a day, and his fur is patchy in places. He gets to take chicken-flavored medicine, and eat wet cat food (which I was hoping to avoid ever feeding him). I, on the other hand, get to walk around with big red itchy spots and be coated non-stop with jock itch cream. Lovely.
