You can see here, cats walk on their toes.

When a cat is declawed it’s an amputation to the first joint. Basically, the toes are amputated. This changes the way a cat walks and over time causes arthritis to multiple areas of the cat's body.

Declawed cats often avoid the litter box because of pain in the feet and arthritis in the body.

Please do not declaw your cat - it can cause serious health problems during their lifetime, and there are many solutions to discourage scratching on furniture such as soft claws/kitty caps, scratching posts and keeping the toenails trimmed. 

If you do choose to declaw, please don’t dump your cat at the shelter when it stops using the litter box.

You created the problem you should deal with the problem. 😉

Be sensitive to how you use scents around your home. Also, this is a good reminder of how a dirty litter box is so offensive to your cat's keen sense of smell.

Tooth resorption is when a cat’s body starts breaking down and absorbing the hard tissue of their teeth (like enamel and dentin). Over time, this can cause damage to the teeth, often starting at the roots and working its way up.

How common is it?
This condition is common, affecting more than 50-75% of cats over 4 years old

Symptoms to Watch For:
Cats are sneaky about dental pain, but here are some possible signs.
1. Drooling.
2. Trouble eating or avoiding dry food.
3. Pawing at their mouth or face.
4. Red, inflamed gums (especially near the affected tooth).
5. Tooth loss or broken teeth.
6. Bad breath—no judgment, but if it smells worse than usual, it’s worth checking.

What Causes It?
The exact cause is a mystery (cats love their secrets), but some potential culprits include:
• Genetics: Some cats might just be more prone to it.
• Diet and oral health: Issues with calcium, plaque, or tartar could contribute.

Treatment Options:
Unfortunately, tooth resorption isn’t reversible. But don’t panic—here’s how your vet can help:
1. Tooth Extraction: If the damage is severe, the affected tooth will need to be removed.
2. Pain Management: Your vet may prescribe medication to keep your kitty comfy during recovery.
3. Regular Dental Care: Prevention is key! Professional cleanings and at-home care (like brushing or dental treats) can help protect your cat’s teeth.

💡 Pro Tip: Cats need regular dental checkups, especially as they age. A lot of cats with tooth resorption don’t show obvious signs of pain, so dental X-rays during routine checkups can catch it early.
