Tru

My story

What my friends at ACC say about me:Tru was at the front appearing calm and sniff treats, and then began to eat squeeze up while allowing all petting. She did not seem particularly interested in the petting and didn't react at first, but in time she warmed up, especially after the treats were gone and raised her rear slightly and her tail as well when pet along her lower back. Then she began to lean in gently for cheek rubs. She struggled slightly when picked up and held and when set back down she went back into her den, but quickly turned around and came back out and forward again as if nothing had happened.Tru interacts with the observer, solicits & appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. This cat is showing behavior appropriate for cat parents with either an average amount of cat experience or demonstrate a basic understanding of typical cat behavior. I have ringworm, a treatable fungal infection of the skin that can be itchy but otherwise harmless in minor cases like mine. I require a course of Itraconazole, an antifungal medication that is taken by mouth every day for a few weeks. Ringworm can be transmissible to humans and other animals, so it's important to keep me separate from other pets in the home, wash hands after playing with me, and perhaps have a specific set of clothes to wear when interacting with me. Giving me lyme sulfur dip baths a couple of times per week can also help to minimize risk of spreading. It's also a good idea to make sure fabrics in the room I'm housed in are washed frequently - who knew adopting a kitty with ringworm would be a great way to help you stay on top of your household cleaning too?
