Quarantine

Having kittens is not all fun and games......
Somehow Jack contracted ringworm which is is very contagious among cats and people.  Maybe Charlotte was the carrier, maybe a visitor brought it in, maybe it came in on an object..... It doesn't matter.  Now all the KATZ have to be bathed, medicated daily and the houses have to be disinfected.  Poor Jack has to be in quarantine with only his mommy for company.

It started above his eye, spread to his cheek and then a patch came up on his hind foot.  He is getting better and the fur is growing back but the real trick is making sure the spores are eradicated so it doesn't come back on him or anyone else.
