Listen up my fellow kitty-cats.  You never want to have bad breath, especially if you have to live with other animals (or humans).  Plus, it’s just not healthy — you can get all kinds of sores and nasty diseases (Gingivitis-stomatitus and periodontal) in your mouth if you don’t brush your teeth daily.  The cost and pet anxiety of mouth diseases far outweigh the time it takes to brush your teeth every day.  Plus, you’ll never be a pretty cat if your teeth are not sparkling white, like mine.

To get started, buy a pet toothbrush and PET toothpaste (DO NOT use human toothpaste; you won’t like it, and it will hurt your mouth).  And if any humans are reading this, puh-lease brush your dog’s teeth, too!  They have such nasty breath.  Dog breath makes me gag up hairballs.
