How old is Baxter?
Is he missing a lot of teeth?
Our cat, Bobi the Bad (Bobinski) was missing teeth at only 5 months - we adopted him from the pound when he was 8 months (there was a reason he went un-adopted for 3 months, we found out later!). We wonder if someone kicked him? The vet says it would take a lot of force to knock out a young cat's tooth.
