Baby food?

Thanks for your prompt replies so far.
If the cat eats dry food, he brings it back up - on the floor, the
rugs etc.
I have tried some canned food, and he'll eat some of it - but not
much.
What kind of canned food do you suggest for a toothless cat?


As long as it isn't a type that has chunks of meat it should be gummable.

Your cat may prefer the consistency that baby food has as it is a bit
easier to lap up. There is an easy fix. Get a hand blender such as the
one pictured he

I have one of these which I purchased at Target for about $20. It is a
very simple tool for pureeing canned cat food and it can be done in a
small bowl. I use mine quite often as I have a cat that has been very
ill and often needs to be force fed via a syringe. The blender makes the
cat food just the right consistency to pass though the syringe. It's
also nice because the bottom half is removable and very easy to clean.
Hope this helps.

"Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one
elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and
splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then
providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and
material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his
way."

My wife has been feeding it baby food, but I find this
not good for two reasons:
A. It is expensive
B. The little jars are a pain in the neck

Please suggest somethong less expensive and more convenient.

This is real? Most canned pet food is pretty mushy and a toothless cat
ought to be able to gum its way through a meal. Otherwise you could
run its meals through a blender to pre-chew it.

I have a 14 year old cat (Jasmine) that has lost all of her teeth as well...

She gets regular canned cat food and does just fine! She still also eats
some dry food. Ever looked at kitty hairball barf with kibbles in it?
Cats pretty much swallow kibbles without chewing it anyway!
