Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2006Purrs needed
Rusty needs some purrs again. Tonight when I brushed his teeth, I noticed he has bleeding gums. I will call TED tomorrow to get an appt. for him. He probably will need dental cleaning. I hate to put him under for that at his age of 12. I feel bad that I haven't been brushing his teeth as often as I should. More frequent brushings probably would have prevented bleeding gums. Sigh! I am a bad Meowmie. Winnie > Rusty needs some purrs again. Tonight when I brushed his teeth, I > noticed he has bleeding gums. I will call TED tomorrow to get an appt. > for him.

Besides, my daughter brushes after every meal, and her gums bleed almost every time she brushes them. Some people, and probably some cats, just have a propensity for that sort of thing. Purrs are on the way. Joy > No, you aren't. You're just a human being.

It's probably not necessary for me to ask this, but I will anyway: does she also floss? I ask because about 12 years ago, I had this problem - my gums bled every time I brushed my teeth. I had to have the deep cleaning thing where they go under your gums. But after that - no bleeding. The dentist did say, though, that if I didn't floss regularly, I'd be back in a few years to get the same treatment. I have to confess that I'm not as disciplined about flossing as I should be - I don't do it every day. But I do it as often as I remember to! And I brush my teeth twice a day. In 12 years, I haven't had bleeding gums since. Joyce Toothy purrs on the way!

I don't think 12 is a very advanced age. Many purrs for Rusty's appointment. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

There is no way at all that I would even attempt to brush either of my cat's teeth. Kitty would slash me - she still has most of her teeth aged 20-21, although she has lost her little incisors - and Boyfie would be traumatized if I tried to handle him as intimately as that. He would faint clean away with fright. Our relationship depends on what "he" will allow, so when he gets up into my lap to settle down and purr his very tiny purr when I am sitting very quietly it's a special moment. I really love him. He hasn't a clue how to scratch or bite me, it would never enter his head. Tweed Purrs on the way.

Soncek adopted me he was 3 months old and from the very beginning I was trying to brush his teeth, but there was no way at all he would let me do it. Lots of purrs and best wishes for Rusty and hugs for you, Winnie, Polonca and Soncek |
