My elusive Lucy - update

I've posted before about my rescue cats Lucy and Jas who came to live with me about a month ago.

Lucy's skin problem improved a little after the first vet visit although she hid upstairs for a week. It then got worse and her head and neck is mostly bald and very sore. She went back to the vet yesterday for the first of two lime and sulphur dips. The vet thinks it scabies!
She has been getting much braver in the last two weeks and have been hanging out downstairs, mostly on the window sill.
This morning she came and settled next to me on the sofa, wanting cuddles and then fell asleep.
Although she is causing me no end of worries I'm still so pleased to have her and it's lovely to see this incredibly scared cat slowly find her confidence.

Oh that's lovely. Not the scabies of course, but the gaining in confidence and trust. And hopefully now the vet thinks he knows what it is, she'll get the right treatment for her poor skin.

She has now moved to my lap. I will have to postpone my cup of tea.

Oh, what a little sweetie. I'm so glad she's becoming more affectionate.

Lucy is a lucky girl getting the best of love and support to get her back to tip top condition.
Is there no one else to bring you a cup of tea?BrewWink

Eldest DD finally made an appearance and got me my cup of tea :) Jas has been glaring at me, I think she was feeling jealous.
