this is Lolo, aka LoloBelle, TinkeryBell, LoloBear, PuddinPop or Puppy, as she trots alongside me like a small dog as i move around the house. she is my other rescue-kitty [my first, Mika, is now 14 years old+] Lolo was maybe 6-7 weeks old [now 4.5 years] when we first found each other - she still had her blue eyes. it took about 3 days for me to successfully negotiate her into a carrier to get her to a vet. she had obviously gotten separated from her mum somehow, as no mum ever appeared. at the vet's she was reported to be half the weight she should have been, she was desperately covered with fleas, and it was confirmed that she was indeed missing her lower lip. when i first saw her, i had thought that the red i kept seeing around her mouth was her tongue lolling out, that p'raps she had had some kind of neurological issue, or was ill, but no - her lower lip had been mysteriously torn away at the lower gum line and was still raw from whatever trauma had incurred. this is a rare shot. usually she is cat-aware when it comes to any kind of camera being pointed her way, and will not sit still long enough to get a decent picture, esp. one this close and in her face. she is a funny, quirky little thing - Lolo is actually an acronym for Little One x2 as she was sooooo tiny when i discovered her outside my home. she is also probably one of the sweetest cats i've ever shared space with. and i'm happy to say that her lip healed nicely, even drawing up a small bit on the gum, so her lower teeth are not left exposed when her mouth is closed. :))
