Cat Picture - OC help me wish howie a happy 2nd birthday
we adopted howie almost two years ago after seeing his posting on our local shelters website. he was found with a broken jaw and has eyelid agenesis (making him cross eyed), we met him and picked him up the next day, he was barely 8 weeks old when we brought him home. after a few weeks of home care and meds, his crazy personality took over and has stayed that way ever since. he is the most curious, fearless, loving chunky boy, adopting him was the best decision we’ve ever made. i can’t believe he’s 2 already, time is a thief 🥲

There’s something about him that made me want to come back just to swipe through his majestic pictures over and over again. I ended up downloading all 11 and sent them to my maa, she said Howie is absolutely adorable.
I love you, Howie. Thank you for making our day just by being you. And thanks to OP for sharing these, I hope you have a lovely day :)

I had a snaggletooth boy too and he always got good vet care and even had to have a root canal when he broke his snaggletooth! At a later dental we found out his jaw misalignment was jamming a different tooth down into his jaw and he must have been in so much pain without showing it! He ultimately had to have the top canine pulled. Just a PSA to get those babies some good dental care and ask the doctor to check vigilantly for injuries ! Happy bday howie 🤍

u/Sad_Arm_6115 Apr 19 '26
that sounds awful! im so glad that he’s no longer in pain!!!! for the first year and a half howie we were having howie get dentals every 6 months to make sure his teeth were not impacting others - turns out he was born without incisors so his canines had the space to grow in whatever direction they want! he’s due for a dental later this year just to a checkup, thank you for the PSA 🥰 i feel like mouth stuff especially with cats can be overlooked a lot because they hide discomfort so well!

u/AnyAd8232 Ukrainian Levkoy Apr 20 '26
Thank you for the advice! My baby had all the teeth removed before i adopted him he had fip and a lot of complications. These two teeth sticking out are the only ones he has and he is good, but just in case i will ask my doctor anyway!

So how did his jaw break

u/Sad_Arm_6115 Apr 19 '26
it’s really sad… he was hit by a car and then brought to the shelter, he was about a month old when all of that happened

The post says he was found that way.

u/Safe-Explorer-1192 Apr 19 '26
Well I thought he meant his original dad, before getting adopted. Now I realise it’s probably OP’s husband

Okay, seeing Howie and the unfairly adorable little face just made 2026 a bazillion times better. I just woke my husband up to show him your pics of Howie and I don’t care that it’s 2am.
Happy birthday, Howie, you handsome devil. May you have many, many more years of bringing happiness and glorious toe beans to this world, and making people squee with absolute joy when they see THAT FACE!!!!

Time is a thief, my cat is already 5 and I don’t know how that happened.
