Hi there! Yes my vet did tell me to brush my cats teeth but,:O I can't get him to let me do it! So, I stopped trying....Jazz is just too cool I tried the little brush you can buy in a kit, no good, he just pushed it away and bit it. (over and over again:eek and then I tried the finger brush....well, that didn't go over any better My friend Larry says he never heard of anything so dumb as trying to brush a cats teeth, but what can I say, he grew up on a farm so you know where he is coming from
