Our cat Sophia is having teeth pulled in the morning. So of course Jade and Oliver, the two cats who are fine to eat, are lined up waiting for food all innocent like. Oliver the Siamese kept yowling at me for food so I snuck him some when the girls weren’t around.
Bonus Oliver belly rub photo!
MORNING UPDATE:
I’m actually surprised how well that went. All three cats were a little on edge and more vocal than normal because they couldn’t have any food, but at the same time, none of them went crazy running around or otherwise raising hell. It mostly consisted of intentionally pathetic meowing and more lining up in their respective spots along the mat where we put the food bowls.
This morning all three of them were circling around begging, which made my wife and I feel very guilty because we’re total suckers for our cats in particular and animals in general, but we stayed the course and scooped up Sophia to bring her to the vet. Oliver and Jade disappeared for a bit after they saw the cat carrier, but after I put out the food...
If you’re curious why they’re on opposite ends of the mat, Sophia’s spot is in the middle. This is Sophia.

Let them go hungry for a day. They’ll appreciate you more, and not take you for granted.
Or they could claw your eyes out. Who the hell knows?

Our cats are super nice (and super spoiled). They’ve been very patient with us while not being fed although there has been more meowing than usual. But they’re being very good. The general message is, “We know you know we’re hungry, can we please have some food? We’ll be good!” And then they line up in their spots again.

Jade, the black & white in these photos, had several teeth pulled a year or two ago. She does this cute tongue waggle thing now after she meows a bunch or eats. Sophia who’s having teeth pulled today is her mom.

We have a another cat named Gabby that had teeth last winter.
Then there is our third cat named Pitch. I swear he has extra teeth. I keep joking we need to find out when it’s time to harvest them so we can transplant them to his oldest sibling.

They can also break the ends of their teeth off as they get older. If it breaks far enough down it can be painful for them and create a path for infection.

Hopefully ours stay in halfway decent condition throughout their lives. Sophia who’s getting teeth pulled today is the oldest and is (roughly) 15. She was a barn cat on this lady’s farm who my wife knew through some other friend and had a litter of kittens. Jade is one of the kittens. My wife took both Sophia and Jade. I got Oliver from a rescue. He’s our youngest at (roughly) 10.

They’re slow feeder bowls . They’re supposed to make it harder for the cats to eat too much, where they have to stick a paw in and bring more kibble to the edge of the bowl. But... Oliver is very good at nagging me to shake the bowl and bring more food to the edge.
