Do you brush your cats teeth?

[josephinerosa]

And if so how often?

Oh my god, no chance I would survive that!

Our rescue is very laidback until we try to compel her to do anything and then she’s a stroppy madam who would take off your fingers as soon as look at you🤣

Tried to trim her nails too, that wasn’t a good idea either😩🤣 Hoping scratching posts, pads and going outside are enough!

I've had quite a few cats over the past 40 years, never brushed the teeth of any of them. My old boy is 17, possibly older, and has lost 2 of the 4 "fang" teeth, due to old age, the vet reckoned.

I have new kittens and I want to give this a go

@Snog eeeeeeeee!! Toe beans 😍

I use dental wipes on mine once a fortnight. I get about 10 seconds in before she turns mean

Oh I hadn't heard of dental wipes. Will try those if the brushing doesn't work out - thank you

No. I don’t have a death wish

@dementedpixie

No; I value my fingers

No, I find my fingers quite useful. Plus when he yawns it's like the portal to hell opening.

I love this! Ours certainly has a fine set of snappers. Apparently a diet which includes biscuits (he gets half meat / half biscuits each meal) will help keep them clean and deadly to small animals and fingers.
