Cat scratches and bites may inject the yeast directly into other cats, people, dogs and other animals. “I’m convinced that half of the human cases that come from cats are people who are trying to stuff pills down their cat’s throats to treat the sporotrichosis,” getting scratched and bitten in the process.
Well this just gets worse the more I read.

Nothing to be scared of. Easily treatable and if you let i get as far as the cat in the picture then you're an idiot.
Ringworm is a fungal infection you can catch from animals as well.
