"The first time I brushed my cat s teeth, I was scolded by it all night."
To be honest, the idea of brushing my three cats' teeth has been hidden in my heart for a long time.
Every time I see my cat eating meat and canned food in big mouthfuls, I want to grab them, press them on the ground, and then brush the cats' teeth one by one.
But when I thought that if I really did that, my cat would probably hate me; at that time, I was young, and I didn't know that the cat's bad breath was so disgusting.
Until one day, I was still sleeping in the morning and suddenly smelled a stinking smell that didn't appear from my nose, and it became more and more intense.
The moment I opened my eyes, I saw my cat, opening his mouth, sticking out his tongue, and licking my nose.
At that time, I jumped up from a confused state and had not yet woken up, and then ran to the bathroom to start retching.
is really smelly, and the cat's breathing and bad breath are simply unbearable.
From that moment on, I decided: I must brush my cat's teeth.
Without saying a word, I bought a cat's teeth brushing tool and cat's edible toothpaste. What is the result of
?
I have 3 cats, and only one cat was reluctantly held down and brushed with teeth; the other two ran under the bed and hid for a night.
And the cat that I brushed his teeth cursed at me all night, jumped onto my bed and screamed at me.
But fortunately, my cat has a good temper after all, and he didn't catch me or bite me.
Why do we brush our cats' teeth?
1. Cats have a lot of dirty things hidden in their teeth
Cats are carnivorous animals. In their cat food and cans, even the food you add to your cat on weekdays is full of meat.
Cats who eat meat for a long time will always have some food residues in their teeth. If they accumulate for a long time, their teeth will be particularly dirty. The residue eventually turns into tartars, and more and more tartars make the cat's mouth smell worse and worse.

Some cats also undergo local dental anesthesia when cleaning tartars.
