Dear Lilly: I was pretty much a funny-looking mess when I was adopted, too. I ended up having my odd upper tooth extracted (it was decayed) and had to have surgery on one eye (the eyelid turned in and I had to squint all the time before it was repaired). They said I looked like a cat called "Bill."

Now I am fat and plush, and my face looks just about normal!

As for the chronic sniffles, my vet said I had a chronic Herpes infection (not uncommon for a shelter veteran) and prescribed lysine. Every day I get the powder from a lysine capsule in my food (I can't taste it) and so I hardly ever have sneezing or runny eyes. Ask your vet about this!

p.s. The "lion cut" looks funny on anyone, but our fur grows back.
