It is a genetic anomaly in some cats; some will get their adult teeth in but they come in soft and fall out. Others will lose their milk teeth and the adult teeth never come in. With mine, she never had half of her teeth, which caused difficulty eating, she had filled sinuses so had to breathe through her mouth, which caused decay in her remaining teeth, and those finally had to come out a couple of weeks ago. She's 10 years old, but she was half-toothless from the time she was a couple of months old until then.
Domestic cats with dental issues is not uncommon or rare. Toothless domestic cats are less common, but still not rare. |

I’ve had a number of cats over my lifetime and fed them moist food and real liver. None had any natural health issue except exceptionally old age. |

professional sitters, depending upon the cost of living, make about 25-30$ per cat per hour. . . granted that can appear to be high, like a fire department increase in percentage terms, (but worth the cost when you need them and quickly) but there is travel, multiple locations, unfriendly animals, etc, involved, and peoples' companions, so if you have pets, just pay the rate for good service

I am currently renting in TV as I make a final decision on purchasing and becoming a FT resident when I retire later this year. When I do become FT in TV I will come with seven cats (Please no cat lady jokes, thank you…) All of them are rescuers under 2 years old. One cat requires seizure prevention meds 2 times a day.
For those posting their rates, what would be a daily rate for 2 daily visits, one early AM and the second early PM to feed, change/clean litter, play/interact/housesit for 1 hour min each visit? Daily pics are not needed, I will have a bedroom dedicated to the cats and will have 2 observation camera’s in the bedroom and other cameras throughout the house. |

I'd happily come to feed, water, clean the litter box, and spend some "human-pet quality time" with neighborhood cats. I wouldn't charge a thing. But you couldn't pay me enough to take responsibility for your 7 cats. Especially if one of the seven has daily medical needs. And if I had a cat with daily medical needs, I'd never leave her to strangers in the house. |

2. Any time someone posts information about their lives, their pets, how they care for them here on a public forum, it becomes the business of everyone who reads the post. If people don't want other people commenting about their personal lives, they should stop posting about it in public forums. 3. Rather than criticize me, try criticizing the information, the context of the post. Since, y'know, them's the rules around here. |

As for the so called "rule" of the number of pets you say I need to abide by, the owner of the house I am renting has 3 small dogs, she has been a multi-unit owner in TV for over 10 years. Her neighbor, who has lived in TV full time for 8 years also has 4 (indoor only) cats and a saltwater tank with 15 coral fish. I am assuming this "2 pet only" rule you mention seems to be either flexible and/or not enforced. Quote:
