Orange fuzzball feline has teeth surgically removed leaving him with the most adorable perpetual blep that the internet can't get enough of

Hey there, cat lovers! Did you know that cats often require tooth extractions due to dental disease, injury, or other oral health conditions? It's true—our sensitive babies are prone to dental issues, especially street cats and those who've had a rough start in life before being adopted. Since cats are experts at hiding dental pain, regular vet check-ups and monitoring for signs like bad breath, difficulty eating, or pawing at the mouth can help catch issues early.

On that note, today we're sharing a silly post featuring an orange fuzzball who needed to have his teefies surgically removed by his vet. The surgery relieved him of the dental pain he had been suffering from, but it also left him with the most adorable perpetual blep—a look the internet just can't get enough of! 

Blepping is when a cat sticks out its tongue slightly, often absentmindedly. This cute behavior happens when they forget to retract their tongue, are tasting the air, or feel relaxed. In some cases, it can also indicate dental issues or neurological conditions—much like in today's featured story. With no teeth to hold his tongue in place after his dental surgery, this little orange cutie now sports the most endearing blep! Loving cat parents flooded in with words of support and adoration for the sweet fluffball and his new look.
