Taking it to the Vet.
I've also heard hold a piece of raw meat next to an opening of some sort (on your cat, yes) it might crawl into it, but there is no telling how many ringworm exist, and that may not be adequate, or easy. Ringworm is NOT a worm it is a fungus it is not alive, take the cat to a vet!!!

Take him/her/them to the vet and pay a huge amount more for something you have to STILL do for four weeks...
MAKE SURE to keep checking all other animals, including yourself, thoroughly for an outbreak. It IS pretty darn contagious! If someone else does get it, see steps 1-3. ;)
Thankfully, it's not a dangerous, just annoying! So, taking four weeks to get rid of it is not going to hurt anyone.
