My half-feral boy demanding my constant attention while I'm trying to do something creative 🥰
I was lucky to take the photo the moment he meowed at me, it's so rare to capture his vampire teeth.

Splendid fangs!
One of my "vampires" had to have on of her fangs removed — the other one broke the tip of one of his. But that doesn't prevent them from chewing on things and stealing them by carrying them in their mouths 😹
@m0xee Thanks, he appreciates it! 😺
I'm sorry your vampire cat lost two of his fangs! My other cat got already one removed as well together with a couple of other teeth. It's so sad to see them go. 😢
@viktuuri0nIce
I have two "vampires" and each of them has a problem with one of their fangs 😿
My younger cat had her molar teeth removed and there was no way to keep this fang, the vet did his best. But in the end it has been for the best, she got a lot healthier after that and even gained a bit weight, which didn't happen to her in years. I don't mind if it's for her best.
@m0xee Aww, your cats are cute! Are they siblings?
My other cat has feline tooth resorption and has already 11 teeth pulled, but so far, she doesn't seem affected in the slightest. The second image is from the time when she still had all her fangs. I regularly take her to the vet for dental clearance. I never tried to brush her teeth as I don't think she would let me and toothpaste she can eat is a bit tricky, too, if it's not her taste.

> Are they siblings?
They are! In human terms the girl (smaller one) would be bigger one's niece.
They are very friendly. Of course they do get tired of each other from time to time and otherwise are in the mood to spend time alone, but mostly they are chilling together like that 😸
@viktuuri0nIce It didn't affect her lifestyle in the slightest, she can still bring her toys to me if she wants me to play with her and dry cat food I use has small granules so she can just swallow them without chewing, she even prefers it over wet food.
For this breed problem teeth are common, older one would probably have to undergo this too sooner or later, I do my best to keep them though by cleaning them and giving him special toothdrops for cats when I notice irritated gums.
