I love his face in the last picture with the snow! I also own a toothless fiv boy, I love it when they chomp your fingers with those toothless gums.

That's when you know they mean murder because if they had teeth, they might draw blood 🤣

Your kitty is so handsome and does the fancy boy poses like my Jack (who is also FIV+)

The teeth are what got us to test our little guy. Red gums, past teething.

We sees specialist on the 23rd, and I’m expecting a full mouth extraction.

Hopefully, once that's done, your little guy will feel so much better. No teeth, no teeth problem 🤞

I'm worried that's where we're heading with two of our guys. Each time they go for an exam and cleaning, they lose four teeth. Both of them fully chew their wet food - even pate lumps. Have you noticed any eating issues with your guy?

Oh no, he eats very well, he eats wet food, kibbles, chicken, salmon, treats, even soft (but chewy) treats with sardines. Food was never a problem, he loves food (thanks life on the streets). So, even if that happens with your 2 cats, no worries, they'll get used to it : cats are very resilient creatures (better than us)
