@is-the-cat-video-cute Such well behaved boys!!! Clean boys !!
ahhh this is so cute!
tooth brushing is something that, if you can get your cats to tolerate it, is really great. cats are susceptible to gingivitis and plaque buildup just like people are, so keeping their teeth clean can help combat periodontal disease and prevent problems in the long run.
even if you can’t convince your cat to submit to brushing, a yearly dental cleaning is also great and helps catch problems. juniper has had several infected teeth removed as a result of dental cleanings, and it helps keep her comfortable as she ages.
the rest of the things here are maybe not 100% necessary on a regular basis, but they don’t hurt, and the owner is doing a very good job. for example, the paw care item used here, paw care essence, is… a bit silly (i don’t think the royal jelly ingredient does anything) but it doesn’t stand out to me as harmful. the bath is a good height for the cats and the gentle pour-over method is a good choice. the owner does not show the whole ear cleaning process, but what’s shown looks appropriate.
and, like most things, the younger you can start cats with stuff like this, the more likely they are to tolerate it as adults!
