My sister adopted two inbred cats a while back. Two of the sweetest, dumbest things I've ever met. One of them, Tony (who we called the sewer monster, among, many, many other names), was stunted, so even at a few years old was no bigger than my current 4 month old kitten. Everything was stunted except for his teeth though, which seemed to be full sized. So he always had these vampire fangs hanging out of his mouth. He had to get them all removed too, which just made him look even weirder. Poor little freak of nature passed last year, miss his gummy little face lol

One of my little guys had to go through that back in August. What’s amazing is that he had to eat wet food for several days, and he and my other cat absolutely don’t like wet food. Even when they were kittens, I tried getting them some nice refrigerated wet food as a treat a few times… barely touched.

I was astonished when my vet told me that once he healed he could go back to dry food. Cats apparently hardly chew their food at all. Vinnie didn’t need all his teeth out, but he had like 8 or 9 removed, and the vet said even if all his teeth had been removed he’d be able to eat dry food.

After the surgery we started calling him gummy nubbins.

I have a stomatitis kitty too! Best cat ever. Been 6 years and he still thinks he has teeth.

Another gummy shark to join the ocean! Mine has been much happier and upbeat since she had hers out, you made the right call.

Thank you for taking care <3

Mine had to get her teeth cleaned and some extracted last year. Her sad, pathetic voice on the drive home was heartbreaking. Poor kitty. But shouldn't hurt to eat crunchy food, so worth it.
