Ringworm & Catnip

I have catnip growing in my (organic) garden, and last night I had the brilliant idea of bringing some in for the cats. Since it was Wednesday evening, it really was time for Sulley's anti-fungal bath, but I had the even better idea of introducing him to fresh catnip for the first time, before his bath.

The results were, extreme.

He got his bath tonight, not last night.

This is Sulley's ringworm lession. He's been getting baths twice a week, and generic lamisil twice a day for a little over two weeks.
He's growling, "MY CATNIP!"
Guarding the catnip from the untrustworthy Mommy. And yes, there are no baseboards in this room, and the floor is ugly peel and stick linoleum. But hey, it works as an isolation/critter room, and eventually we will completely re-finish the room.
He's starting to lose track of where things are, like his paws.
Oops, dropped the catnip. When I tried to pick either the catnip, or him, up, I got bit. He spent the night alone with his catnip sprig. Which I could not find this morning.
