Just wondering if anyone's cat has made a clicking sound when eating or knows what that might be? I will call the vet if they are in on Saturday, but was wondering if it is something with teeth. The vet looked at Lovey's teeth during last visit about a month or 6 weeks ago. She did notice that some of her back teeth were receding and she could use a cleaning. Lovey is eating fine.
My cat is making a clicking sound sometimes when eating?

I've never heard of anything like that. I hope the vet can find out what it is and it's nothing serious.

Sometimes my DH's jaw goes "out" and clicks when he eats. Maybe Lovey has something similar. Is it all the time, or only occasionally?
Have a great weekend,

not sure what might cause the clicking, but if Lovey needs a dental, that can keep a cat from going into remission. strange how it works, but it can be a problem. just something to consider. getting the teeth fixed isn't a guarantee that she'll go off, but it can improve her health.
eta, when you say her teeth are "receding" i'm thinking she might be having resorptive lesions. not sure if i have that spelled right, but it's when the gum tissue is absorbing the teeth. it's kinda a big deal and usually the teeth are pulled.

Hi Julie, thank you for responding to my post. I appreciate your time and input.
my new vet pointed out two of her back teeth to me. I think she said the teeth were receding? I am not sure.
I know in humans and cats how dental disease can be linked to illness so I know it is important.
I am going to learn a little bit more about the dental procedure, which abs are Ok, etc. and will schedule a cleaning for Lovey in the near future. I am just calming down and getting comfortable dealing with FD so I am almost ready for this...I am nervous.
I would like to go to a specialist really. I like my new vet; she is flexible in the 30's, but the
the only procedure she has done on Lovey so far is a urine culture so I am a little uneasy.
Are their specialists? One place that I know of that has specialists requires referrals from vet that proves they could not service the patient. I have two weeks off for the holidays so I am going to do some reading of dental threads here and get some more info. from my vet.
