    I am a little concerned about my cat's health

    Yes, it is the same cat. He started eating normally again after I made that older thread and then he had his annual checkup in August which went well so I wasn't too concerned until the other day. I decided to take him to the vet this past Thursday. The vet checked his mouth and said she saw...

    I am a little concerned about my cat's health

    He's been drinking water as regularly as he always does. As far as I can tell, his litter use is normal too. I don't think he's been any more sluggish or tired than normal either.
