Hi, Our cat Remus had to have all his teeth removed at 8yrs old, due to resorption lesions. It was a terrible ordeal, but he’s now 18yrs and perfectly healthy! While we feed him good quality pate and kibble, he can honestly eat anything he could when he had teeth. He did drop food at first (post surgery) but once healed, he figured out how to eat without teeth. I would guess your cat is probably still healing. Give him some time and offer softer foods in the meantime. Our vet told us that cats don’t really chew their food anyhow. FYI, having our Remus’s teeth removed was the best decision we ever made. He is still like a kitten at 18, his breath smells sweet, and I believe his great health is at least in part due to not having any dental issues. He had a heart murmur before his teeth were removed, but that also disappeared! It’s also nice knowing he won’t ever have dental pain without us knowing. Rest assured that your kitty will figure out the food situation before long. >^..^<
