Our Persian mixed cat has feline ringworm. It doesn't seem to bother her, but treatment appears to be long & difficult.
I understand it is caused by the same fungus that causes athletes foot, so I wonder if creams & sprays available for humans could be used safely on a cat.
No. Don't ever use human medication unless advised to do so by a vet.
The reason treatment for cats can be difficult is because cats have so few options. Cats are susceptible to all sorts of poisons that are perfectly safe for humans and this rules out a lot of options from human medical science.
There are too many horror stories of cats poisoned by their well-meaning owners. Even shampoos can be fatal to cats due to the plant extracts they contain.
