Once and once only have I brushed a cats teeth ...... this was a friends cat, while I was looking after him while she was away.
Allegedly, Puss was used to it and would be no problem ....
Twasn't quite the case - I have to say he was certainly in need of dental attention because his breath could have stripped paint.
The good thing was that when she came back, Puss got his dental visit to the vet
I think if I had kittens, Id try this from the onset, though, along with claw trimming and geting used to be manhandled
