Does anybody know if jock itch can be caused from a cat infected with ringworm or is it a different form of the infection? Thanks!

Okay, first, I think it's a different kind of infection...

Second, how in the world would you get an infection down there from a cat?? Are you doing bad things to your animals? That's kinda wierd.

Okay, maybe I should clarify. I have a cat who has been having trouble with fleas and losing hair. I assumed it was due to flea allergy dermatitis. A friend of mine said she thought it could be ringworm. Since my kitty spends most of the day sleeping on our bed and my husband sometimes prefers to sleep in the nude, I thought it might have been caused from the cat if it has ringworm. Our children got an outside kitten last year that had ringworm and they both ended up with nasty cases of it on their skin and hair that cost me a fortune to get rid of. The inside cat had never gotten it then but I know it can lie dormant for a long time. That is why I was wondering if jock itch could be caused from the animal variety, not cause i'm some weirdo doing freaky things to my cat. Thanks for your reply though.
