Journal/19 Messidor CCXIV from Evan Prodromou

Our male cat, Topaz, had to go to the vet today. He's a formerly feral cat, and while he was living in the wild somebody shot him in the face with a .22. The bullet's still lodged in his upper palate (the X-rays are pretty cool...), but his jaws and skull are all healed up. Badly. A lot of the tissue has grown back in wrong, and it irritates the other parts, and it hurts him a lot. It doesn't look bad from the outside, but the inside's kinda gross.

Anyways, he had to go to the kitty doctor and get the bad tissue taken off, as well as a couple of teeth. They're gonna go back in in a couple of weeks; they just got out of his mouth previously six months ago. Poor fella.

He's back home now, all dilated eyes and wobbly legs from the anasthesia, but hopefully he's gonna be feeling a little better now.
