My cat has no teeth (ahhhhhh) what do i feed her on?

poor kitty....Feed her canned cat food. The canned cat food that is in 'loaf' form and put it in her dish and use a fork and mush it up for her. She will be able to eat it then. Have you talked to your vet about it? He should have really told you how to feed her. If you haven't taken her to the vet I would soon, she might have an infection after loosing her teeth? Was she neglected or hurt, how did she loose her teeth?

Reply:My old cat ( now deceased) lost all of his teeth but he still loved to eat dry food, he must have had very hard gums, he lived until he was 18, not bad for a toothless wonder.
Reply:really soft cat meat. get the stuff with tiny chunks and alot of gravy this should go down easy if she cant cope with this then phone the vet they should be able to help you
Reply:How old is this cat with no teeth????? How long have you had this cat with no teeth????? Where did you get this cat with no teeth???? If you truly have a cat with no teeth, there is canned cat food.
Reply:I'm sorry but usually when animals have no teeth left they either starve to death or have to be put down. You might want to consider feeding her milk and weet-bix. She will probably be able to survive on that.
Reply:your breasts....;-)
Reply:Cat food., canned and soft ones.and include pounded dry food every now and then in there for fiber and bulk. Cats like small amounts anyway. Put a couple of spoonfuls of wet canned food in a clean dish a few hours after leaving pounded dry cat food in another dish. She will be happy with the variety. Leave a bowl of clean water at all times.
Reply:baby food or moist cat treats
Reply:just normal cat food as its soft enugh for her to eat
Reply:Ah my cat was 19 when he died and he had no teeth. I used to feed him on whiskers pouches. he didnt have any problems.
Reply:what has she been eating up until now?? most cat food is mushy


you could always liquidise it a bit more and you could soak biscuits in cat milk her gums should harden in time.
Reply:try it with some soup (mouse flavour)
Reply:they can still eat normally ,lotsof humans do ,they are no diffrent they learn to adapt
Reply:Cats eat mice. Try feeding it liquidised mice. Or it might eat fish by swallowing it whole but just leaving the bones like in a cartoon.
Reply:Very soft tinned cat food. Also make sure the cat has plenty of water available at ALL times.





For the cats own well being, also have regular veterinary check ups to ensure the cat is coping with food that isn't as chewed as normal and to ensure there are no gum problems developing.





Cats with no teeth can survive, but it does add a lot of pressure on the cats gums to be able to crush food. The gums are very sensitive so you MUST get them checked by a vet on a regular basis. You must also monitor the cats eating habits very carefully. If the cat goes off it's food suddenly then get it to the vets ASAP as this could be a gum problem which could force the cat to starve itself.

Reply:just give her meat from tins but squash it with a fork ,my cat has been without teeth or years and this is all we do
Reply:She should be OK with most brands of cat food - it may be trial and error finding a brand she likes though. Any problems after trying a few different brands (and mashing them as required) I'd suggest going to the vets.


Hope shes OK - Good Luck

Reply:ordinary cat food should be fine.
Reply:use the same dry food but moisten it with water, just add more water until you find out what consistency is right for your cat. you can also use canned food, but that can get expensive after awhile, and if you normally didn't feed it to them can have a problem w/ loose stools, and stomach upset.
Reply:i have one who's 11 years old lost his teeth i mix canned cat food in with the regular dry food
Reply:Cats often use the gums at the back of their mouth to 'chew'. Their teeth are used for ripping open flesh.





Normal small chunked or non-chunky cat food will be fine if you mash it with a fork - cats' tongues do the lifting. But you can try small pieces of bread or cereal soaked in milk. One problem may be that the cat won't be able to eat grass which helps with vitamins and maybe clearing furballs; chopping some up as a 'side-salad' might be good. And lots of water.





I wonder why it lost its teeth in the first place. Too much chocolate?
Reply:Canned cat food. The soft kind.
Reply:Having no teeth is not a problem for cats, you'll discover. If you feed her kibble, she'll just gobble that down whole. But if I were you, I would feed her wet cat food - you know, the ones in cans. You can mush it up a bit before you serve to the cat. Now that she has no teeth, there's no worry that she'll get tartar. Whereas a dry kibble diet can trigger urinary tract disease and kidney problems. Oh - get cat food that is low of ash content and make sure she gets lots of fresh water.
Reply:I owned an elderley cat some years ago,and fed her on tinned cat food mixed with a lot of water so she could just lap it up. I found this really helpful, but tried a few different brands before I hit on her preference. You may have to mash the food up so it can absorb the water.


Hope this works for you.
Reply:You could try the food from the scachets there soft
Reply:concentrate on milk and liquid nutrients, like soaking soft bread in milk, etc.
Reply:baby food the meat......or go to your vet and get some specail food
Reply:pureed cat food through a stripey straw!!
Reply:Depends on how old she is. If she is under 6 weeks you can get a bottle %26amp; get some bitchs milk from the vet or pet store. I have also used baby food. Box or jar. If she is older feed her can cat food just watch her so she don't chock. Good Luck, Becky
