I recommend to have the cats examined. When multiple pets break out in lesions, conditions like ringworm (which humans can get), fleas and skin mites are more concerning. A physical exam and a few easy skin diagnostics are needed so that Coco and Yogi get the best care. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
