She's adorable and very sweet. But because of gum disease she is on a downward slope to being put to sleep like her litter mate before. Periodontal disease is something terrible and takes a lot of money to treat once it's present, which my sister doesn't have. So she is only keeping her as long as she can eat and not in constant pain =[
If you suspect your cat of having gum disease, or you notice very bad breath or your kitty acting as though eating is painful, please talk to your vet as soon as possible! Cleaning and early diagnoses can help save your kitty's life from this disease. Otherwise it may require their teeth be removed, and if not that, they can die from the infections caused by those rotting teeth.
