And what a handsome guy you are too! My Dorry gets his teeth brushed every morning as part of his "toilette" which also involves a good brushing of his short coat. Now RB Nicky would not have put up with tooth brushing, but when I adopted Dorry I was determined. My vet advised me to get him used to having his gums gently massaged with my finger (scary at first, for me, with his sharp fang-like teeth ) Then I progressed to what I use now, a soft baby toothbrush and kitty toothpaste. He puts up with it. But they also sell (very) long-handled toothbrushes especially for this endeavor. Main thing I am told is that it's much easier to start when they are kittens. Makeup? Hmmm ... I think not.
