My cat had his teeth cleaned today and three needed to be pulled.

Is he ever going to be pissed at me when I go pick him up. :scared:

1. Ah, poor guy.

My two older kitties both have atrocious teeth. They always get some pulled when they get a cleaning. My 13-year-old hardly has any left. But, they say cats do fine w/out many or even any teeth ...

2. How old? eom

3. He's 13...

going on 14 :o

At the moment he's still a little groggy but he has his appetite back and his remaining teeth are pearly white. He's doing fine. :-)

4. very good for his longevity, in older cats bad teeth often lead to

reinal failure, the most common cause of old age deaths in felines.

5. I'm glad I had it done and regret that I didn't do it sooner.

Now I'm wondering if my Calvin's untimely death could have been prevented if I had his teeth cleaned a few years back. :-(
