Not to be an obnoxious pain in the patootey, but I have seen some cases where one cat did not spread scabies to their feling, canine, nor human companions... it's rare, but it does happen... though it is rare... anywho... my tidbit...

I still don't know how he injured himself, but they're healing quickly thankfully-- they look better every day. I noticed though that one of his toes paw pads is also involved which I did not see before, a layer of outer skin on it is scraped.

(It's sort of in a flap which must have been covering up the fact that it was affected but as it started to loosen it's now visible.)
