Cat facing is not an infectious disease, it's an enviomental problem.

When pollenization occurs at low temps or blossoms are disturbed, the result can be cat faced fruits, which are usually the first fruits that mature, but later ones that were pollenized when the temps were warmer will not have cat facing.
