Every since Loki broke off his left upper incisor a few weeks ago he is often seen with his tongue sticking out. I think it’s still bothering him, or at least he worries it, not unlike I do with bits of missing parts of my own teeth. I actually need to get about 3 or 4 crowns, but that ain’t gonna happen. Anyhow, that’s a whole other story. Meanwhile, the stump where Loki’s tooth used to be isn’t as red as before so I think (hope) he’s on the mend. Sure hasn’t stopped him eating. It probably just feels weird not having his FANG there anymore, my poor old loveable doof.

caturday january 15 2022

This is a pic from 2013 when Morcilla was still a kitten and she and Loki used to cuddle. It’s both sweet and sad because they never do this anymore. Luna cuddles with both Loki and Morcilla, but these two have somehow “fallen out” except when they both want to be on my lap. THEN they will put up with each other, or rather Morcilla will put up with Loki because she feels safe on my lap. Loki can be a real asshole at times and out of the blue gets quite aggressive with the girls and I don’t know why. Plus he’s massive and could hurt them, though I only worry about Morcilla (she’s so tiny) because only a total idiot with a death wish would try and mess with Luna. Anyhow, I really love this photo.

loki vet time

Poor Loki! We were having a cuddle on Sunday evening when I noticed Loki’s mouth looked a bit strange on one side. So I had a look inside his mouth and – eek! – his upper left incisor was all bloody. And so it was off to the vet’s yesterday. Always so stressful. I can never tell who gets more stressed out, me or the screaming cat – or the taxi driver who has to drive us (I always tip well) – but omg it’s awful.

Once we got to the vet’s Loki calmed down and, being the good boy he is, let Eva give him a check over and even pry his mouth open without making a fuss. And well, it’s not as bad as I had feared. The enamel on the front of his incisor has broken off but, aside from being a bit inflamed (not bloody) Eva says it should heal over. Which is GOOD NEWS as the only cat orthodontists in Spain are in Málaga and A Coruña. So Loki is taking anti-inflammatories for three days and after that I’ll keep an eye on him, with another check up in a month’s time.
