'Do brush your cats teeth?'

Do brush your cats teeth?

Goldie from Wisconsin -

I know alot of us brush our dogs teeth, but do you brush your cats teeth? I had a cat that had to go in twice a year to get its teeth cleaned and I wonder if I should be brushing them to cut down on the cleanings? I feed him hard catfood.

We all should be brushing our cats' teeth. But that's easier said than done. Cats aren't usually going to let you. It's a habit you need to start when they're kittens, but it's almost impossible to start even then. We should still try.

Oh boy. I am so bad about this. I have resolved so many times that I was going to brush the cat's teeth and then it just gets away from me. Feeding crunchy food and giving tartar control treats helps, but it's not enough.
