Ringworm is contagious. It spreads when you have skin-to-skin contact with a person or animal that has it. It can also spread when you share things like towels, clothing, or sports gear. You can also get ringworm by touching an infected dog or cat, although this form of ringworm is not common.
1 Kittens can contract roundworms by nursing from an infested mother. 2  Worm ova can be ingested when a cat uses infested kitty litter and then cleans her paws while grooming. 3  Eating rodents that have roundworms is another way to acquire an infestation. 4  Biting and ingesting fleas can also lead to a case of roundworms.
