Midnight Bathing

This morning Midnight was very vocal and agitated. He woke me up and then kept coming to my room and carrying on. Raphael got quite angry with him and growled this high pitch agitated sound at him. I eventually got up, I needed to just rest, because I'm still sick, but in the end I got up and let the cats into the yard. Midnight was drooling a bit, and still quite restless, and agitated, pacing the yard. I inspected his mouth and found he has one very sore tooth, a top back tooth. He already lost half his teeth last year during dental surgery, and the vet said the others will go but they only were just starting to show signs of dissolving on the gum line, and he wanted to leave Midnight with some teeth. It hasn't lasted long. Poor little guy. I gave him some pain killer and all the cats an early dinner, moreso just to pacify Midnight. He was content and he was bathing himself in the sun. He remained content till this evening, and I had to be firm with him, he comes to me crying, I don't know what to do. He wants to go out but I really don't think he knows what he wants. He's just agitated. Hopefully tomorrow the pain killer will have worked it's way into his system and stopped a lot of the pain. He is booked in for dental surgery on Friday.

I got stressed thinking about this, it means I have to drive him to the vet far away, and it's hard on me even when I'm well to do the long drive.

I just want the cats well and happy, but it's one thing after another. I'm pretty sure the 2012 poisonings affected all the cats teeth. Most of them have undergone dental surgery in the last year or so.
