My poor kittie :( - Page 2

Poor kitty!

Now my best friend many years ago had a cat that jumped out of a moving vehicle...and the exact same thing happened to its tooth!!

She was also broker than broke....so didn't take the cat to the vet - and it grew into adulthood with the wonky tooth - it never affected him, his eating, never got infected.

Looking back - probably not the best thing - but she could barely pay rent let alone vet bills..but she'd rescued the cat and couldnt' give it up.

Anyway -I hope your kitty is ok.

well, I wish I could find him but he's probably resting somewhere. rest is always good. all I can say is he wasnt in obvious distress, eating, drinking water, kneading my bedspread, loving on me, just as normal....seriously!
no temp, no bleeding, no nothing...

Well I'd say that's a good sign, but I'm no vet.

But like I did say earlier, my friend's cat lived a long and full life with his tooth jutting straight out. Since you're cat is still eating and drinking I'd say that's definitely a good sign.

Thanks Jason, he's still not back and now Im really worried...I will tell you all when he comes back and what sort of condition he is in....gosh...I've had him for 12 or 13 years (I always lose count!) and he is so loveable and sweet....Im just sick about this....and I feel guilty because I let him go out, but he acted so NORMAL in every way that I didnt stop to think about abcesses or infections or any of that, I just let him do what he wanted, and now, if he is hurt somewhere and I cant help him, I'll just die.

Aww, kitties are my weakness. Hopefully he is just sleeping somewhere.

I would take him to the vet...don't tell them you cannot pay until AFTER they work on him. I made payments when I had a problem with one of my cats. I could not pay the whole bill at the time so they sort of had no choice...but I did make the payments every month.

I hope he's ok too...and I've already decided I will take him if he comes back home---unless the tooth is already out, and maybe even then if it looks like he has an infection or something...this will make 2 days without food so he's getting weaker Im sure...and he will need his strength to fight off any infection.

JUST COME HOME O.B.

Maybe try looking under your house or in your garage in any small dark space, ask your neighbours to check under theirs and in their garages or any sort of quiet place that could he may hide in... usually a cat will try and hide in a very dark place... you may be able to find him somewhere like that... GOOD LUCK!!!
