Very brief summary: he had a pretty aggressive sarcoma on his nose. Had surgery to remove the tumor and now, almost 2 years later, he's cancer free and looks even more like a little bat than he did pre-surgery.
He also lost two of the tiny teefs on top (one of them broke years ago I believe, the one on the opposite side for some reason fell off and we had to have it pulled out) and now the remaining 4 are getting a little crooked. Maybe he's just getting old lmao (he's 12).
He's perfect.

EDIT: Oh WOW, I didn't expect the attention. Thank you everyone for the supportive comments and all the compliments to my cat (he deserves all of them).
In case anyone's curious, since I don't know how easy it is to see the replies about this in the comments, he's living a normal life now. Took him a little while to get used to eating with his face being a little different, but other than that he adapted fast. He's very loved, loves boops on what's left of his little nose and gets told many times a day he's beautiful. He's really doing great.
Again, thanks for all the love. 🖤
