This is Molly

We got her from a rescue. Unfortunately, while she was there, she caught calicivirus, which led to stomatitis. Her body thought her teeth were invaders. She couldn't eat because of the pain

The vet said they needed to remove all her teeth - but don't worry, cats don't need teeth

Okay

In the end, they removed all but the canines - and she has been fine. She eats happily now. And she eats a lot

So I guess cats don't really need teeth

A black & white cat is standing on a ground-floor balcony. Her front legs are up on the metal rail, so the front half of her body is raised - in a proud superhero pose. She looks healthy and happy because she came through the operation well. As I type this, she is sitting on my lap purring and I adore her
