As Karen said, the weight will come back gradually, as it should. As for grooming, you'll think I'm nuts (I don't deny it) but when cats become depressed, they lose interest in grooming. They do become depressed, sometimes due to pain and seeing that she had 6 teeth extracted, I'm pretty sure she was experiencing pain. Now that that's over with, perhaps she'll start grooming again. Also, depending on age (yours is young), they won't groom b/c it's difficult to reach certain spots b/c they can't lift their legs w/o pain or reach back near their tail. Also, some cats just aren't good groomers. My Specs happens to fall into that category. He's a long hair, Maine Coon, and I have to check him for mats all the time. I have another cat, Creamsicle, who is an obsessive groomer b/c of allergies. I wouldn't worry too much about the grooming issue unless you see that she's lethargic and not eating again. Good luck w/your furkid and please keep us posted.
