I got athletes feet from my brother which I have mostly gotten rid of but then it transferred up to jock itch in the nether regions. I am trying to clear it up as quickly as possible but I am worried about passing it on to my cat. I am keeping it covered as best I can and using anti fungal creams and washing my hands extremely well after applying them; there is a small spot on my arm near my elbow that is hard to keep covered due to the location; it's far too hot for long sleeves and band aids keep falling off. I am the only person in my house so I have to feed them, groom them, and I have to give one medication and the only way I can give it to him is if I put it in his mouth and chase it with water in a syringe. They are also very affectionate kitties so even though I'm trying to avoid petting them they keep rubbing on me for attention. How likely am I to transfer this to my cats?

Call your vet. Yes you can spread it to them. Trust me, you don't want ringworm on your cats. It's horrible I'm going through it right now
