Are you saying that your kitten cant eat wet food because it gives him a sore mouth,or is it dry.Either way something is not right if that is the case.

Yes he can't eat much wet food except pate-style at the moment because it gives him a sore mouth. The vet has seen him, he has some loose baby teeth including one of his front fangs with the adult fang coming right next to it, therefore he finds small kibbles much easier to pick up and eat. Many kittens have the same problem.

Really Never had that problem with any of my kittens.

He is the first cat I've had which has this problem, but he has always enjoyed nibbling and biting things, even when really tiny (5 weeks!) so he had a tendency to loosen some of his baby teeth before they were ready to come out, then he became unable to eat a lot of wet foods as a result!

I have heard it is quite common though for his age group

That's not necessarily a bad thing, since most of the better food is pate style anyway
MoggyBaby and Treaclesmum like this.
