And latley he's been sheding like crazy. And he has been losing a lot of weight. He used to ge strong now he looks week and unhealthy. Please tell me what you think it is. Could he be dying sick or hav a dieses.

(oh yeah and I have ring worm so I think I could have caught it from him or my other store bought cat)

Answer
Hi Mercedes,

You have a very sick kitty and there's really nothing I can say or do to help you, sorry.  I think you really need to take this cat to a Vet.  Yes, he probably does have ringworm and you probably did get it from him since it is highly contageous.   Please take him to a professional for help.  I am not saying you are being cruel, but it is cruel to let him suffer.

God Bless,
Becky
