There’s proof. Not staged.
Note the lower teeth. The only two she has left.
The vet left them when the other teeth were removed due to disease in December, hoping the top lip would settle over them and Ada would develop small calluses where the teeth rubbed a bit. Instead they have scarified her top lip, and are due to be removed next week.
The older cats get, the more their teeth fuse to the jaw, so even though they are healthy, it is best to remove them now.
Expect dispatches from a sofa, under a healing cat, next week.
