As Filou goes in weekly for his fluids we thought it was time to take Tigris in for his yearly exam and the tooth cleaning. Tigris didn't bother to hide because he was so sure it was only Filou who had to go:D

Can't count 2 carriers, that boy;)

Ok, first the good news: his bloodwork came out excellent.

But...... he now has one little toothie less. And the very bad news (for him): He cannot have dinner tonight. And had no breakfast. Plus no lunch.

But I'm so relieved it was nothing worse.:)

P.S. Thursday we go to see the homeopathic doc with Filou.

Glad that over all the visit went well. Poor Tigris though with an empty belly! Maybe you will get something special for breakfast tomorrow.

Good luck at the homepathic doc. Let us know what he has to say.

Way to go, Tigris! Sorry to hear about the new missing tooth, but you'll be better off for it in the long run.

And good luck to Filou on Thursday! :)

Oh Tigris...please don't worry about the missing toofie. My Max has several teef that are missing, two of them being an upper and lower fang on the same side. Looks really funny, but don't him I said that. And to go so long without something to eat....you poor thing. I'm sure Meowmie will have some special treats ready for you in the morning.

Yes, wonder what it is with Siamese and their teeth, I believe it's quite common. My Cleo has lost two. Both girls going for their annual check up this Friday and I'm expecting some $$$$ on dentistry. I'm putting off further work on MINE so they can have THEIRS! (What was that poll we had last week about taking better care of .....);)

Oh Tigris, you must be starving!! Perhaps you can convince your mom to make you some chicken soup - if not, I bet you won't let her sleep tonight. :eek:

I'm glad it was "only" a tooth you lost. :) Fister has broken one in the front, and two others are missing, but he can still eat both wet food and crunchies. :)

Hope you feel better soon, Tigris! I'm sending lots of gentle scrithies, and Fister all his sympahty.

Oh Tigris! Jessica sends all her sympathy! She well remembers having four teeth taken out by the vet two years ago! :eek: Appalling!

I hope the menu has been a little more to your taste today, beautiful boy!

Poor Tigris had no food for ONE WHOLE DAY?!

Pichu sends his sympathy, he knows how it is to starve (oh, yes he knows!:rolleyes: ). Several days ago his had only a bit of canned food left and he made the biggest fuss ever - Are you going to starve us to death? routine. He even got Juni involved in that.

We're all glad that big Tigris is healthy and we send kitty kisses.

Oh boy! A trip to the vet's, they yank a tooth AND no food!?!?! :eek: That is just too much for one kitty to stand. I think you should go on vacation. PA is a nice state. ;)

Tigris says thankyou for all the compassion. Today he also got to enjoy the new biological food of his brother- and tell you what- Tigris says it's REALLY great food:D

So all is forgotten now:)

Aw, Tigris did they let you have your toothie to put under a pillow for the tooth fairy?

Hope you are feeling lots better and fuller today!;)
