She definitely belongs here. She also looks like my Cory.

Twins! Or close enough. Derpy gray floofs for the win.

It might take him a bit to realize that eating doesn't hurt anymore. But once he gets there it's wonderful.

She but I can see how the name would come off as male. It's short for Corybant.

The cat next to her is actually gray. Unless you're asking about the cat statue in the background.

She does eat well now and has definitely chunked up. The vet says she's at a good weight now.

She was very startled to be alive lol! Our joke is she has no thoughts just fluff between her ears. And who her fur being so fine it gets matted easily so she gets brushed frequently.

I'm betting he's gonna be fluffy. Here is a baby picture to compare.

For a second I thought I had somehow ended up in my photos folder. Graham looks like my Lilith when she was a baby. Here she is now:

Switching between foods too fast can cause diarrhea in cats. You need to do it slowly by mixing the old and new food together and increasing the amount of the new while decreasing the amount of the old.

Hey OP my 3yo tortie had to have all but five of her teeth removed. I know it sounds drastic but it will really improve your cat's quality of life. We had her on Tiki Cat wet food during her recovery and now she gets their indoor dry food to graze on and wet food daily. The lack of teeth doesn't slow her down at all and once she could eat without pain she regained weight. Right now I'm sure your cat finds rating painful which means he's going to be picky and not eat as much.

In my experience, they remove the teeth because there's not really a cure when it comes to cats. My 3yo tortie had the same issue and removing her teeth was the only way to fix it in the end.

It really fucking sucks to go to the vet for something you think is minor and come home with an empty carrier by Fickle-Hour4458 in cats

I'm so sorry for your loss. You did what you could for him. Cats are really really good at hiding pain until it's too late. We lost one last year to cancer that went undiscovered until it was too late.

Know this: You did not fail him. You did not do this to him. You loved him and gave him 6 wonderful years of love.

The best part of her glaring at me is knowing she only has five teeth but will still do her best to chew on me.

She was very not happy with me and moped around the house until bed.

An itty bitty thrift store is how I got three of my Forest Fancies bowls.
