1. It is Sunday afternoon, you are relaxing at home when you suddenly get a craving for egg nog. Guess its time to head up to Wal-mart. While there you see a family giving away "AKC registered" Manx kittens that "have papers and everything!". You decide to go have a look at them. The family selling the kittens seem very nervous, constantly scratching themselves. Upon closer examination you notice they are all covered in red circular lesions. You inquire about this and are told that "We just developed these. But its not from the cats, they look totally fine. Plus, they are part bunny!" You'd probably be fine taking one home, I mean, they are lesion free.

If they are lesion free, they are ringworm free. Plus, they are part bunny! Cuuuuute!
