Hey Sue,
I'm glad it wasn't ringworm. We used to have a himalayn kitty for many years. She now lives with my grandma at a whopping 17 years old! I bought her years ago from a show breeder of persians and himmies. ( i used to be really big into kitties) and anyway she arrived to me with an ugly case of ringworm. She actually had two circles on her. I remember it took me several weeks to clear it up. I actually got it on my forearm from her. I'm glad your babie's problem wasn't that.
Hope you've been doing well...haven't chatted with you in a while.
