Default Oblong skin lesions in cat; skin condition or neighbor's tomcat?

Hello
I have a 7 yr old or so gray tabby cat at 16lbs, Big Boy, who has
gotten several skin lesions on his belly, front, and rear. I won't
rule out a cat vs cat encounter but wonder why there are so darned
many and if there is a disease causing this. They seem so round and
look like divots chunked out of his top skin with minor bleeding.
Thanks

Could it be ringworm? They are round and they spread, I believe. I would take
your cat to the vet and see what he/she says. It's probably treatable with
some type of topical medication.

Sounds like ringworm. It's contageous to cats and humans. They are round bald
patches of skin with a red dot in the middle. Sounds like a vet visit is
needed.
