How did you get them used to it? Did you start when they were kittens?
I started brushing Cupid's teeth when he was a kitten. I started with one of those things you put on your finger. It came with the toothbrush & toothpaste actually. It was to get them used to it. When I started using the toothbrush I would put a little toothpaste on it and let him lick it off. He would start biting it too, which cleaned his teeth a little in the process. Then I started lifting up his lips (lips?) and doing the front teeth, and after he got used to that I started opening his mouth and doing his back teeth.
Same was said by mine Sarah when they went for their yearly checkup a couple of months ago, so they must be doing something?!
Ok, so just voted No now!Originally Posted by squirtle
I didn't mean "No, are you crazy" to mean you thought it was crazy to brush, I meant crazy because the cats would have a fit. I was just trying to be funny, something told me to put a plain old fashion no.
Sar said:I use Dentabits too! They work really well - my Vet is very impressed by the state of Tibby's and Molly's Teeth!
Can you get Denabits at any pet store? I would really like to start doing this for Harley since he's so young yet, good to get him in good habits with these kind of things!
