Thanks, everyone. My vet gave me some gel stuff to put on her teeth every day (just a dab with a q-tim on each top back tooth). Maybe that will help. Alas, there are two more teeth that are not great but don't need to be extracted yet. Let's hope the gel helps arrest that problem.

When Portia got home yesterday it was hard to make her understand that it is not a good idea to be jumping up to the highest possible places while still woozy with anesthesia. I spent an hour and a half removing her from bookcases and the top shelf of the cat tree before she settled down! Silly kitty.
