My little guys have had a rough week. They both had to have three teeth extracted. Krogie (the cute little face looking at you below) lost three of his four canine teeth (the front fang teeth).
They're on (very) soft food for five to seven days.
Most cat people know this, but in case you don't and your cat has to have dental surgery, baby food is a wonderful alternative to their regular diet during the first few days of convalescence. Particularly, Ham flavor. Every cat that I've cared for in these situations liked it. So much so that they may ask for the Green Egg flavor too.
Okay, that last part's a joke.

Sorry about the teeth. Most cats need extractions at some point. Nice to see a new photo of your boys. Your note is cute (at the end). I found out about ham baby food at Pantops. The cats love it, especially when they can't eat or won't eat anything else.
Ooh- poor things!
Ham really makes everything better, doesn't it?
;)
Great tip - thanks John. Hope they feel better soon,
Laura
