romeo || bumble
We're eating dinner tonight (the wrong pizza from Bertucci's) and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is on TV and Joe suddenly says,
"Romeo is like the Bumble!"
That's because poor Romeo spent the day under anaesthesia having SIX teeth yanked.
And the Bumble had his teeth yanked. It made him less dangerous. Except that kitty wasn't very dangerous before he had his teeth pulled. And he's definitely not now. He's super groggy and he is really unstable when he walks. He won't close his mouth all the way, understandably.
He really needed to go in. The pictures don't really show how bad they are. His large fang there was nearly hanging out of his mouth...3/4 of the tooth was terribly infected. You can sort of see how the third tooth in has a hole in it. A lot of them were like that. He still needs to have 3 more pulled but they just couldn't overwhelm him like that. Poor little kitty.
There was a woman there who said her cat had to have a lot of his teeth pulled and that he was like a whole new cat afterward and that mostly she didn't even have an idea how miserable he was until she saw the new pain-free personality emerge.
Oh, and like the Bumble, Romeo LOVES pig dinners. Can't wait till he feels better to enjoy one.

Goldie was back to normal about three days after her teeth were pulled. She only had four taken out, though. Watch out for swelling in the face peaking the second day. Poor Romeo!
