Will athlete's foot be transmitted to cats? No, human athlete's foot may be transmitted to cats.

The athlete's foot may be transmitted to cats. Whether it will be contagious depends on whether there is a common source of infection between the owner and the cat. If the fungus that causes the owner to suffer from athlete's foot and the fungus that cause the cat to become sick belong to the same genus, contagious phenomena will occur.

The owner should actively keep a distance from the cat after he is ill and seek medical treatment in a timely manner. In the feeding and management of cats, it is also necessary to do a good job in feeding and environmental sanitation, vaccination and deworming.
