Well, my face is all better, but the vet says my tooth is rotten. He also said it was a double rooted tooth and the teeth around it are fine. Whatever that means. He says getting teeth pulled is hard on kitties because it's really painful and we can't take anything but really strong pain medication that knocks us out. Since we're groggy from the medicine, we sleep a lot and don't eat enough and that impedes the healing process. Since I'm an old dude (almost 10) he thinks all of that would be too hard on me. So he's basically just hoping it rots and falls out. I'm not sure if I like that or not. I guess if it abcesses again, they have to seriously consider putting me through the pain anyway. Kind of sucks not to be the captain of your own destiny.
On a completely different topic, our person decided that all of Lilian's problems were due to nerves. (She throws up A LOT and she cries A LOT) She decided to let Lily go upstairs and live with those dumb dogs. She gets to go out in the backyard and she gets fed wet food... Our person says she seems happier and healthier. I'm thinking that maybe if I throw up on the keyboard, she'll let me go outside too. But she'd probably just take me to see the man in the white coat. Sometimes life just ain't fair.
