Hello. Are you treating Minocha for ringworm? Ringworm is a fungus that can spread on any loose hairs, but it is not an easy infection to catch from a cat unless you have a compromised immune system. I would definitely keep her out of bedrooms & not let her sleep with anyone. Continue to treat any spots with your antifungal medicine prescribed by your vet. Sitting in the sun does not affect the fungal spores on your kitten, but I am sure she must enjoy the sunshine. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
