post dental surgery sweetness
He recently has all his teeth taken out fot stomatitis, as well as some moth eaten teeth they found before taking the others out.
He is not this sweet normally. He was too stoic to catch the pain he was in previously.
Bonus post surgery not happy picture. 
Another of him passed the fuck out
He's like "I didn't know what happened, but I think I'm dying. I just want you to know, I'd still eat your face if I could. Let me touch that delicious face one last time."
First pic reminds me how when i had a dental surgery and my cat was very insistent with getting me a cat compress on my face.
My dog is always sweet but not always chill. We were about to take a ferry from Vancouver Island back to Washington so I gave her a chill pill before we left the house. She hates them so I normally just use the. on the fourth of July and new Year's Eve due to all the fireworks in my neighborhood. Ferry seemed like a high stress environment as well.
We stopped at a breakfast joint with outdoor seating and she hopped up next to me on the picnic table bench and was just so chill. So many people came up and pet her praising her calmness. I didn't have the heart to tell them she was just high as a kite. I think all the affection made up for her not liking the chill pills.
No bad intent here, just curious, how do cats eat after having their teeth removed?
Perfectly fine.
My cat had the same tooth removal surgery a couple years ago (he was adopted with a mouth full of teeth where most were about to fall out). He was on soft food for about 2-3 weeks before he started picking at his dry food again. Now he gets a portion of wet food every morning, and free feeds dry all day.
What I learned from the vet is that cats use their teeth mainly to rip meat off their prey so they can swallow it, and not really to chew. So if they're presented with food that's an appropriate size to swallow, they just swallow it.
I had taken care of a foster that had to have all his teeth removed. I am glad dry food is still an option, we opted for wet as he enjoyed it and the vet recommend us to feed any wet food over dry food for all our cats. Some cats just love dry food though and have little or no interest in wet, so like I said glad it's an option still
