So earlier today we had a most illuminating thread on the travails of bathing one's cat.
Now I'd like to hear from cat owners' experiences with brushing their cats' teeth:
- How often?
- How easy is it?
- How best to do it?
We have a cute little kitteh or two here whose breath is beginning to represent The Crypt. And I've heard that remedial dental work on cats can be $pendy as all get-out.

Do yourself a favor and pay whatever the vet charges.
Just... trust me.

I don’t think its possible to clean their teeth without geeting scrached and bitten and getting them pretty traumatised too. The vets put them under to do it.
I think the best things are chicken wings or other boned meat to chew on and there is also special dry food designed to help keep their teeth clean. Not perfect but it should help.

I cannot imagine trying to brush a cats teeth, they squirm and have sharp things they are not afraid to use.... If you insist on brushing the critter, may I suggest Kevlar?

You do NOT want to attempt to brush your cat’s teeth.
But -— if you insist, go ahead ——and then report back. (after you heal)

Pay the vet,our daughter ran up huge doctor/prescription bills trying to tend to her cats. Hands blew up like baseball mitts after one took offense and chewed her up pretty good. Infection set in, it wasn’t worth trying.

I am a dog person. You can talk a dog into jumping off a cliff with you.
But I had a mama kitty adopt me with her one remaining kitten. I love them both but I would just as soon put my hand in a paper shredder than try to brush their teeth. Not to mention any other part of my body they could get access to.

5 cats have us, and let me tell you... unless you are a veterinary dentist, you’re crazy if you attempt this.
