Thank you so much for the article. It answers more questions than any
vet. The vet does suggest three tooth extractions although she said this
would buy the cat only 3 to 6 months. Eventually all the teeth will have
to be removed. The article mentioned irritability because of the mouth
pain. That is very accurate in Samantha 's case. She definitely is
irritible. I noticed that ever since I adopted her.

Nancy,
Here is an article on what your vet is saying your baby has:
http://www.vin.com/VINDBPub/SearchPB/Proceedings/PR05000/PR00066.htm
If your vet is right and your kitty has FORL (Feline Odontoclastic
Resorptive Lesions), it is a very painful disease and really needs to
be
treated. Here is a quote from this article
> Cats with immune system deficiency caused by infection with FIV or
> FeLV often have chronic oral inflammation, although most cats with
> FORL test negative for these two viruses.
