The fungi that cause tinea felis in cats are mainly Microsporum, Malassezia and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Ringworm in cats usually manifests as dry skin, itching, flaky peeling, hair loss, and circle-shaped redness on the skin. If you find that your cat has hair loss or flaky peeling, you can take the cat to the hospital for a dermatoscopy to confirm whether it is infected

Prevention of cat moss fungus:

1. Give After taking a bath, the cat's hair must be dried thoroughly. Humid environments are more likely to breed fungi. It is also very beneficial to let cats bask in the sun more often to prevent fungi.

2. Cats with fungi may not necessarily be infected with cat ringworm. Cat ringworm is more common in malnourished or sick cats. In general, stray cats, old cats and kittens are particularly susceptible to tinea felis. Therefore, if you have touched a stray cat or a cat with cat ringworm, you must wash your hands before touching your own cat. It is best to change all your clothes after returning home.

3. The cat’s living environment should be kept ventilated and dry, and the cat’s living environment and feeding tableware should be cleaned, disinfected and sterilized regularly to prevent cat ringworm fungi from multiplying.
