Question
We got our cat from a shelter and took her to a vet when we got her home. Her breath was terrible and the vet put her to sleep and cleaned her teeth. Her breath is much improved, but it still has a strong odor. Is this normal? Do we have to learn to brush her teeth? Thanks.
P.S. The vet says he never has brushed his cat's teeth!
Hi Glenn!
I have never brushed my cats teeth either, but I know of people who do. It's good for the cat and will help avoid having to have them cleaned later. She may just have bad breath.....the food cats eat is kinda fishy smelling anyway.
God Bless,
Becky

Expertise
I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
