The vet diagnosed inflamed gums which is a recurring problem with old cats. As usual he didn't want to go into his cat box before leaving the house and then didn't want to come out when we got him there. Steve tried to get him out by the scruff of his neck and now carries the scars to prove that Murphy's teeth still have a bite.

He is now eating well, his smelly breath is better and he is happier in himself. Long may it last.
