    For those who don’t know, feline dental resorption lesions can be very painful although cats refuse to show their pain. They aren’t preventable or curable and require the teeth to be removed. Toothless cats can still eat dry food, either by crunching it with bony plates in their mouth or just gobbling it whole.

      Cats have a very high pain tolerance, unfortunately. Ours had a canine just fall out during weekly teeth brushing, and we never ever knew anything was wrong.
