There was a haunted look...

There was a haunted look in Old Tom's eyes and he wouldn't eat. So Sally took him to the vet. There she was horrified to learn the poor beast had lost three pounds, apparently due to a rotten tooth and a massive sinus infection. Probably if he had been the only cat who lived with Sally, she would have noticed sooner. As it was, the food she put down disappeared; it had only been during the last couple of days that she had paid special attention to Old Tom. With food right in front of him, he was quietly starving to death because he had no way to tell her he was sick. But three pounds!
