I had to laugh when I read this, not because I think it's funny to brush cats' teeth, but because I was picturing the scene if I ever tried to do this with either Tubby or Peanut! Tubby gets pretty feisty when all I'm trying to do is give him a little bitty pill, I can only imagine what his reaction would be if I tried to brush his teeth! Although, I recently bought one of those battery operated toothbrushes that are kind of like what the dentist uses to polish my teeth, and Tubby seems fascinated by it. I know he doesn't like the human toothpaste, but maybe if I bought the kitty toothpaste......noooo....I value my arms too much.

And Peanut, either she'd put up a fight worse than Tubby, or she'd be meek and let me do it, then never talk to me again. So far the hard food they get has been doing a pretty good job though. Tubby has horrible kitty breath, but other than that the vet said they look fine. Whew! Arms saved once again.
