Can you use Lotrimin cream on a cats ringworm?

No, for two reasons. First, cats groom themselves by licking their fur - any Lotrimin cream you put on a cat's skin is going to be eaten. Second, cats are not little humans - they react very differently to drugs than humans do. Just because Lotrimin is safe for humans does not mean it isn't toxic to cats. Your veterinarian can help you get your cat's ringworm under control; I suggest a visit to have your cat evaluated and appropriate medication prescribed.
