In our case, this is true. Our cats are siblings, and both have some bizarre autoimmune disease -- wish I could remember the exact name of it -- that causes any plaque on their teeth to attack their gums moreso than it would normally.

They're only 3, and each has had to have several teeth pulled already.

When we brush, they're fine. When we don't, their gums get inflamed and they paw and scratch at their mouths, poor little things.

BoyKitty loves the poultry flavored toothpaste we use. Silly cat.

Kitty had his teeth cleaned the other day.

It cost about $160.
$140 was for the cleaning, and $20 was for the anesthesia.

He was mad at me for about a day for taking him and he wouldn't sleep with us that night.

But last night I could tell he was back to his old self when I felt him sleeping in his regular spot between us and I touched him he automatically broke into a purr and rolled over so I could rub his belly.

I really need to start brushing my kitties teeth. Ellas especially, cause her gums tend to get inflammed.

Any recommendations for a toothpaste brand and flavor? I researched about C.E.T. brand, but I would like some personal preferences. Thanks!

Wow, must be tough. They're lucky they have caring owners!
