ita, can't you just put enough of it in a small tupperware or something? Some kind of small open-faced jar?

Or a plastic bag you then cut a corner off of? Like for frosting?

"Clean your cat's teeth" sounds like something God would tell you to do just to test you. Sorta' like God telling Abraham, "Kill me a son." Then He's all, "Just kidding. Now clean your cat's teeth."

Oh, good one.

In my experience as a human, teeth issues are pretty individual, and for five years, vets never suggested a cleaning, so I figure I'll believe them now.

Oh I am sure that's the case. I just didn't want you to beat yourself up about it if you weren't able to do it. I actually took Chile in a couple of months ago specifically for the vet to look at her teeth and give me an eval. He said, "nope, they're fine" even though they've never been cleaned (Chile is 8). And I know of other vets who demand it for all pets like clockwork.

I would be more inclined not to do it, if another vet hadn't warned me a year ago.

When Senor Sock was about five, his vet would say, "Maybe we'll clean his teeth next year." And then every year he'd say that. So Senor never had his teeth cleaned.

(I was gonna put the accent over the 'o' in Senor, but Senor Sock's Official Home Page doesn't do that, so I'm claiming that as the definitive source on the matter.)

We wrap a little gauze around a finger and rub it on the cats' teeth. Well, we should. We don't do it enough, because it makes Manny mad.

Anyone need a new car?

The deal is because GM shut down both brands.

I would lose a finger, I fear.

I need to trim their nails soon. And then I do need to get their sugar tested this next year, maybe I'll ask about teeth then.
