Cats spray to mark their territory and as a way of communicating with other cats. Cats will often use the same area again and again, so you may notice some places where your cat likes to spray more than others. The reason for this is that cats like consistency and they also like to be able to find their own scent easily if they return later on. If another cat has been around recently, your pet might want to re-mark his territory by spraying in order to make sure he’s still top cat! #catspray #cats #catsinbaskets #catswarm #catscaps #catsinatree #catstas #catsbywindows #catsloose #catsarelove #catslook #catsonly #catseye #naturalcatproducts

When your cat’s upper lip is lifted, you will see two rows ( upper and lower ) of very small teeth across the front of the mouth. These small teeth are called incisors and are designed for cutting like scissors. Directly behind the incisors are the long pointed canine teeth. The canines are designed for grasping and holding… Right behind the canines are a few smaller pointed teeth, the pre-molars. They are also for grasping and holding. The upper lip can be lifted gently with a cotton swab to show the back teeth… There is one particularly large upper tooth and another equally large lower to opposing it. These back teeth are designed to cut bite sized pieces off a larger portion. Tartar tends to accumulate quickly on these large upper back teeth.

Do you let your cats sleep in the bed with you?

Start with a healthy, comfortable mouth. Having a sensitive, sore mouth brushed can be a painful experience! Choose the proper toothbrush and toothpaste. Cats need a special toothbrush that fits the shape of their mouth. Toothpastes developed specially for cats are available. Introduce the toothpaste and toothbrush. Create appeal for the flavor of the toothpaste and acceptance for the feel of the brush. Repeat and reward. Cats are good at forming habits and respond well to a consistent routine. Use reassurance and rewards, never reprimands. Brush the front teeth. Point the bristles up while brushing the upper teeth. Point the bristles down while brushing the lower teeth. Brush all of the teeth. When you brush the back teeth, you often have to rely on sound and feel to know when the brush is in contact with the teeth as the back teeth are difficult to see. Schedule regular check ups with your veterinarian. Your cat should have a complete physical examination, which includes a dental check up, every 6 to 12 months.
