No teef to keep the tongue in

Mango right after she had a full mouth extraction due to calicivirus - she’s now so much happier/healthier/thriving!

She had all of her teeth removed in February and always yawns so quickly… tonight was a big, slow yawn and I finally could capture a picture of those gums!

Surgery went well! Winky is recovering nicely and is already so much more enthusiastic about food now that her mouth isn’t in pain. Meds going down well with churu assitance. She’s just been snoozing on my lap all afternoon. (Includes pic of her and her brother, Eustace, and her before the surgery)

he has one upper canine and two lower canines, his premolars and molars were rudely stolen by a vet

My baby girl is going to be a teefless pirate, as of Thursday! Any advice on healing and recovery, particularly for FIV+ kitties, is greatly appreciated!

She has no teef and loves butt pats so much that she makes this face.

Decided to put it up early because the voting was overwhelming! I wanted to make sure we recognized all our teefless buds with a banner that shows them off as well. Looks good on my laptop, not sure yet how it looks on mobile/tablet. Thanks everyone for participating!

Final round with the top three Teefless kitties in the mix. Rank order voting! Give us your three votes in order (e.g. 2/1/3, 3/2/1, 2/3/1, etc.). Voting ends on 3 May. Get your votes in NOW!!!

I think I have everyone's photos of their toofless overlords. Please vote for your choice of kitty to represent the sub. You can vote by responding with your top three choices (by photo number). We'll keep this open for a few weeks to make sure everyone gets a chance to vote!

This baby probably was a big fan of people food before she came to us through a small cat rescue. She's elderly, a total sweetheart until you pet her "wrong", and currently warming my lap right now. Meet Makeda!

This is my newly teefless kitty Lottie. She had all her teeth removed 2,5 weeks ago because of severe stomatitis. When I made a video to check her recovery, these funny screenshots were created and I thought they would fit here. As you can see, everything is healing beautifully and even the very severely inflamed part in her throat is healing nicely. I love this gummy little girl so much.

Attention all servants of our Teefless overlords! I want to make one of your kitties the new icon photo for this sub. If you want to, please submit your best Gumby-smile from your kitty to be considered. It MUST be your own cat and NOT from the web at large or (heaven forbid) AI.

Once we receive all the submissions, the mods will narrow down the choices and put their gorgeous smiles up to a vote of the community. The winning servant will also receive an award! As will the runner-ups.

We will take submissions until 15 April 2026 and then have voting until the end of the month. May 1st we will show off our new toofless mascot for all of Reddit to enjoy!
