What can you say? It makes me chuckle. There is a certain fascination about the video which was originally an animated gif. I converted it into an MP4 video on the Internet. I suppose its fascination comes from the fact that 99.9% of domestic cats won’t allow you to clean their teeth with a toothbrush unless you have trained them to accept it from a very young age.
Of course, in truth, this is not a cat having his teeth brushed by a cat who wants a toothbrush placed into his mouth for some reason or other perhaps because it tastes nice.
Some of my cats would let me brush their teeth, but most will bite if they see the toothbrush. So its been a lot of years since I tried to brush. However, I have found that many of my cats will accept my finger in their mouths to massage their teeth and gums.
That’s a good idea Susan. My vet says he wraps a thin gauze around his finger while doing that.
How darling! I wish my kitties would let me brush their teeth with ease. They hate it but I do it anyways. Crucial for a healthy blood stream.
I had the chance to train mine because I raised him from 7 weeks of age but I did not. Lazy me. And now one day I will have to take him to vet for teeth cleaning and the dangers that brings.
