Well, I've spoken about Taj and all his health problems lately so, I caught him in a yawn, you really can't tell he's mostly toothless, but he is, here he is with his mouth open....

That's a cute photo. My cat Sheba was mostly toothless. However, she did managed to keep enough of her molars to still be able to eat hard food. But, I think it was really hard for her.

Thanks, yeah, he's pretty funny. Hobo was mostly toothless, but like Taj, he had NO trouble eating whatever he wanted. Of course, he was a stray and happy to get fed! since he had lost his fangs, his hunting skills left something to be desired!

well, since his mouth isn't hurting any more, he's eatting better than he has since last April! End of August he was down to about 7.5 lbs, I had gotten him back up to 9 before the surgery. He has to be 12-13 now! And he's eatting the kibbles again! After all, he doesn't need to CHEW them, he just kind of tosses them back and swollows!

took me 3 shots with the phone to get the shot, and then I kind of had to get him up so he'd start yawning! did you look for his teeth?

The poor baby! He looks so sweet! I keep thinking to myself that the vets need to come up with dentures for our animals that loose their teeth. One of my cats, Dish Pan Sam, lost most of his teeth just before he passed away. It was so difficult for him to eat his favorite kibble and he was reduced to soft wet food. So far, Murphy who is 15, hasn't had any tooth problems and hopefully she won't. Hug and kiss your babies for me. I'll take the half hour that it takes to kiss all my herd for you! (With four cats, four dogs and five outside cats it takes a few minutes! LOL)

well, there are a few I can't kiss and cuddle, but that's all right, a few of the others need the extra time... I generally go to sleep before I get done - Ping takes the most time.

A cat with a toothless yawn, that is sooo cute. I hope he does better soon. I just brought a stray to the vets. What an experience that was.

very poor Taj...I ever had cat problem like u have. I gave my cat sugar water and vitamins (B12 or B complex). Give with a spite to her mouth. It's need more patient to do that. And in next two days she getting well and like to eat cos she has hungry back. Maybe u can try this. Sugar water and vitamins (B12 or B complex). Hopefully Taj can get well soon.

Taj had a medical problem called stomititus and the normal treatment is to pull all the teeth. We had that done in November and he's gained all the weight he lost and then some. He's doing great now.
