I'm so excited!

That’s good news! I can’t imagine how he manages to eat kibble though but he is obviously doing fine. I liked olydove’s suggestion of mixing a little hot water with the kibble. Pong looks like a lovely cat; I used to have one that looked just like him years ago...

That's funny, if it were me I wouldn't even have tried with dry food. But if they can eat it, great!

Toothless cats never heard of this must be awful hard on them! and cost alot to get the teeth pulled. Way to much!

Awwww Elic! That's great!! They're tough little creatures, aren't they? I had to have some of my chihuahua's teeth removed and wondered if he'd be able to eat dry food ever again and he can. I was right surprised to see him eat it but he can do it. Now I have false bottom teeth and I could not nor would I even try to eat off of my gums. OUCH!! Nooooo not going there!! lol

Very good! I have never had cats teeth removed.. well except for one cat who had an abcessed tooth I have had a few who have lost a tooth here or there. Poor Kitty. was he eating canned food before? or did you have to moisten his kibble?

I think you love animals so much.So you may give what your pet wants as more as possible.It will love you ,too.

I am so glad that he is eating them again lol don't worry about how as Cats know what they can and can't do, it looks like you have very determent Cats there lol that will not miss out on their goodies

oh,thats good news!!as you said,maybe he will get used to eating without teeth.i do not know what kibbles are,maybe its some sort of cat food.

That is neat. They may start eating a bit more after a while. We had some of our dog's teeth pulled too a while back and it took him a while to get used to eating again, especially the hard food.

lots of spit. seriously-his gums have probably hardened to the point where he can,some take longer than others.i had a female cat awhile back who became diabetic and lost her teeth.after awhile,nothing stopped her,she even tried to eat a stolen corn cob. poor kitty,it sounds like they were really plaguing him.

Good for pong, he's a toughie, lol.

Hi Elic, Awwwwww poor Pong, but glad he is eating again at least he won't starve, the poor little thing. Many years ago we had this famous cat callded Arthur on our UK comercial on TV and he was pour white, had not teeth and used to use his paws to get his food and he used to feed himself, he did look cute, he was so very famous. We loved watching on TV. Tamara

Wow! That's great. Do you have to wet them for him or anything? I hope he does get fat and sassy..lol..nothing like a fat and sassy cat.

That's excellent Elic. I'm happy for you too because I know I worry about my two little guys and if they ever had to have their teeth pulled well my orange tabby would probably be the one that takes a long time to eat again, but as much of a pig as my gray tabby is LOL I don't think he'd have much problem. One thing you can do to make it easier for them since I imagine they aren't chewing it up so good is to mix the kibble with just a tiny amount of hot water or soup broth to soften it up for them. My friend has a cat that also had his teeth pulled so whenever she makes some sort of soup she sets aside just a little bit of broth to warm up later and put in his kibble. He loves it and it makes it much easier for him to eat.

At my brother's wedding, one of his new brothers-in-law had his teeth removed a few days previous and had not yet been fitted with dentures. He amazed me by chomping down on a celery stalk and managing to chew it without any problem.

He's a gorgeous kitty Elic...reminds of some of my former orange tabbies now in Rainbow Bridge. Glad he's eating normally again and his kibble...just HOW can he though??

Why did you have to have their teeth pulled? I've never heard of such a thing unless they are causing problems. Though the longest I've owned a cat thus far is 4yrs & he's still with us.

[b]Glad to see how good he looks! I surely miss him...when do you think he might be up for another visit? Maggiepie "OBAMA IS AN 'UNDOCUMENTED WORKER.'"[/b]

ok so im pretty taken back by this. why would a cat have teeth pulled? especially all your cats? i've heard of them being declawed which i dont think is right, but never their teeth pulled. cant they eat soft cat food?

The picture I'm getting of your toothless cat greedily gobbling up kibble is just too funny!
