I try to do the thing with a washcloth and toothpaste on all of the Tribe (except Norm) because they are all very good about being handled, cleaned, claw-clipped etc. so I take advantage of it. But Tiger Tiger REALLY loves the electric rotating toothbrush. He won't leave us alone when we are using it on our teeth and we donated an old rotating head to him for brushing. Don't ask me why, but he loves mechanical stuff - totally facinated with the washer, the CD & DVD players, the vaccuum cleaner, the hair dryer and the electric toothbrush. We're thinking of sending him to MIT (Mouse Institute of Technology)!
