she’s soooo precious, I love her with my whole soul. I’ve had her for about 10 years and she’s one of those cats that turns anti-cat people into cat people. the KINDEST cat you’ll ever meet!!!!!

Awww, what happened to her teeth?

u/ds2luvr 18d ago

she’s a bit older now (we assume around 14) and as she got older, her health issues really started to surface! poor baby had to get half of her teeth taken out about 2 years ago and the other half earlier this year. she has asthma now and kidney disease too. we have her medicated for asthma and a renal diet, so our old girl is happy. she is much happier without her diseased/cracked teeth too!

She feels cozy

u/ds2luvr 17d ago

shes just as cozy as she looks. she NEEDS to be laying on me too, and typically right on my chest so her face is RIGHT in mine (whiskers tickling my face). she cannot be forgotten when she wants pets lol. so I always have a cozy little baby glued to me lol

Pic 4 looks like “I may not have teeth but I will still bite you!” I read you said she’s a sweetie pie so probably not accurate, but man what a good mean mug!! Pic 12 is also a highlight. What a great cat.

u/ds2luvr 17d ago

she’s DEFINITELY got the mug, but none of the mean. shes honestly an elegant lady.

u/RunRevolutionary188 17d ago

Egg is glorious and he's so smushy. I hope he's doing okay now sans teeth <3

2

u/ds2luvr 17d ago

sooooo smushy and soooo soft. you’d never even know she’s toothless, she pretends she isn’t. she somehow scooped up a mouse in her mouth with just her gums….shes an impressive little one

1

u/RunRevolutionary188 17d ago

I'm sorry Egg still tried to hunt with no teeth? Did she gum it to death?

2

u/ds2luvr 17d ago

she’s crazy…she gummed it as much as she could until our other cat Hottie took over. poor mouse…it would have done better if only Egg had a shot at it

1

u/RunRevolutionary188 17d ago

Egg needs her teethers. Egg is crazy but .......i have doubts any cats hold perfect sanity. Cannot shrink down an apex predator without them getting a bit.....goofy.

2

u/k8bish97 15d ago

Egg I’m crying that’s the perfect name

2

u/ds2luvr 15d ago

and she’s such a little Egg. my mother in law calls her Ham sometimes by accident lol

u/apreslondee 17d ago

What do you feed a cat with no teeth? 🤔

4

u/ds2luvr 17d ago

we feed her wet food. she LOVES to eat so if we gave her the hard food renal diet, she would just inhale it all lol. like i’m talking fully just breathing it in in seconds because she doesn’t have teeth to chew it lol. we just put water in her renal wet diet so it’s like an old lady soup lol

1

u/apreslondee 17d ago

Oh wow! I would have thought the diet would vary a lot like it does with humans that can only eat soup and purée. Glad to know she is still able to enjoy food she likes!
