cat breath

**ILOVECINDER** · 12-02-2001, 09:14 PM

Does your cat have stinky breath or good breath? My cat has stinky breath because of the type of food she eats. We tried to brush her teeth once, but she kept trying to pull away. Then, she got all wet and looked like a chihuaua!!!

C&K's breath will only smell after they've eaten certain type of food, like fish....

Have you ever opened a bag of cat chow and taken a good whiff? Nuff said

My Spencer's breath is ever so horrible - and he doesn't have any teeth - remnants of a meal always seem to hang down the side of his mouth and get stick in his fur - yuk - he really objects to having his mouth wiped.

Has Cinder been checked out by the vet? Our old orange boy Valentine (rainbow bridge) had the worst cat breath in the world!!! Then we discovered he had an abscessed tooth. Once the tooth was removed and he had his teeth cleaned under general anesthesia, his breath got a lot better.

So far I was lucky with the three cats I had, but Luna had bad breath when she was teething, I could see that her gums were all red! After the teething procedure, it became much better!

My boys usually have bad breath after they have eaten. Sometimes, one will stand next to me and yawn and nearly knock me over with that breath! lol

This may sound dumb, but I kind of like Noah's breath (not that I sit there and smell it), like when he yawns in my face or when we are cuddling, it is like puppy breath, cute.

My cats breath is like taking a dip in a fish tank. No matter what they eat, they still smell as if they have just eaten a few dozen fishies. Not so enjoyable. I tried special cat snacks that should give them a better breath, but they gave it one look and turned away with an attitude.

I'm with Noah's Mommy!!

I acutally bend to get a whiff when they yawn. Then again, maybe you guys have visited the dog page and read my post about the Frito Feet smell in dogs. In kitties, it's popcorn tootsies!

Guess I just love critter smells!!
