Cat`s dental stuff

[AppleBr]

Hello
Does anybody here brush her/his cat teeth?
Did you survived to the try? How it was? Needs to be trainned since its a baby?
I know we can`t use human paste for, but no idea if we need a special toothbrush or a human softy and new one is ok
Don`t want my princess having bad breath ;-)

I brush Annie's teeth -- she likes it. They sell little feline dental kits at the pet stores, with little tooth brushes and special paste that tastes good and doesn't need rinsing. Go for it!

i floss venus' teeth...but she likes it. that's the only reason i started doing it. she loves floss she will not let me brush her teeth though.

They have small tubes flavor mint,tuttifrutti and strawberry.Which one you think she will prefer?
The meat one is bigger and expensive - more than MY OWN !
I will try some - but with human toothbrush,longer ,cos the one from the kit is not safe from my hand- it will be quite near to the main weapon of my wild friend.Loreena was a stray cat .I guess she will accept if she likes the taste,did a test only with the brush yesterday.

Back again
Loreena didnt like that mint one I bought, she not even tried licking  that from my finger.I dont blame her, that looks disgusting, not even smells...
I forgot the stuff for a while but today introduced her to floss, and for my surprise she didnt rejected it so hard!
Maybe she's like Venus, but is alredy a adult cat and was never "accostumed" to that. Of course I had to floss the neck , let her taste the floss and play with it but I guess we can progress on it.
I'm just being able to see a small part of her gums while she' relaxing on my nap...AND WITHOUT LOSING MY FINGERS !!! UOL :-)

Ps She will possibly accept meat flavor since  she licked ham patee from the brush with pleasure...I will try when I had money for...
