Don't worry my cat has also got very bad teeth she has these things called neck leassions which rot through her teeth. She has also only got about 10 left. Last time they asked me if I wanted them all out but I thought I would hang on for a bit as she was only 8 (she is 9 now). I hope Bones kidney problem is OK and he gets better soon. Some cats zare just sicker more than others. Tilly is also deaf and a Virus carrier ( so she sneezes all the time and get runny eyes if she is left sneezing for too long.She then has to be given antibiotics to boost her health help from time to time. So I know alot about always going to the vets.

All the best and I hope bones is better soon.

Thanks everyone, in the end 4 out of 5 cats ended up with the tummy bug but it all cleared up after a week and they're back to normal now.
I always panic and start thinking the worse when they get ill, having never had a cat reach 10 years old I know I'm lucky to have 5 make it to old age together!

Glad to hear they're all on the mend; it's so distressing when they're ill! And 10 isn't really old...early middle age! As to teeth. my Misty had lost most of hers by the time she was 16, but could gum her food as if she still had them; she died at 19 1/2!
