Yes pink eye is highly contagious and is spread from cat to cat and also this is one thing that you can catch from your cat too. Take him to the vet and get the RX needed and keep him away from other animals until it is cleared up. After touching or medicating your cat, make sure to wash your hands very well before touching your eyes
