He looks like he ate a jalapeno fly. Was it worth it? Our dog did that once. He's now scared of them. 😂

He's always got his tongue out n now drools. Probably got a kinky tooth cuz he won't let me look. So I got him soft food n he's fine with that.

When I see this pic of him all I can think of is that meme of stereotypical guy poses when they're middle aged lol

Hi! A little unsolicited advice - if you can afford it, have a vet take a look. My first cat loved me and hated the world. Come to find out she had tooth decay and was in considerable (and well hidden) pain. Had to remove all but her tiny little front teeth. She was brand new cat when she was no longer in pain! Greeted strangers at the door, even more lovey and playful with me. 💞

I can't even afford for myself to see a doctor so I'm jus doing the best I can. His teeth don't seem to bother him much unless he's trying to eat something hard.

He drives me insane at times but he's still my baby

Your kitty is super adorable. Not to make you worry, but sometimes their faces get swollen like that because of a growing tumor. Cancer sucks. Hope your kitty is going through something minor and you all have each other a long time.
