~ MCJ's photos with the keyword: Midnight

Matilda follows me everywhere. She sleeps on my bed day and night, and she often calls and calls when I'm not in my room, for me to come to the room and be with her. If I leave the house she calls and calls. My mum pacifies her and she now settles down quickly. Her eyes often follow my every move. When I lift my keys she knows that sound, and she knows I am going out. There is resignation and she goes and puts herself to sleep somewhere. She notices everything. When my car pulls up in the driveway, and I put my keys in the front door to unlock it, she has jumped down off my bed watching to see if it's me. I suspect she fears abandonment. Midnight is more of a back bencher. He still has his preference to be outside. Matilda turned 11 years old on the 23rd of December 2016.

Mercedes on the left. Midnight in front. Raphael behind. Charlie behind Raphael. Matilda in the shed way back, on the left out of the sun on a box. She had been in the sun and she got hot.

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.

He is tired of the heat. We are having our hottest March on record. It's supposed to be Autumn...but the heat persists. Midnight turned 7 on the 1st of March. Not his actual birth date. It's approximate.

Midnight says "I love you" to Raphael with his tail. I should have posted this on Valentine's Day. Josie beyond. Taken in Jan 28th 2016
