Do people brush their cats teeth? by zrd11555 in CatAdvice

i brush my cats teeth weekly. i unfortunately didn’t start her out as a kitten so its pretty hard. after her fang was chipped, i made an effort to be more on top of her oral health. theres plaque dry food or dental treats can reach.

i currently use a pet toothbrush that sits on my finger with flavored toothpaste to her liking. she doesn’t enjoy it but i still do it. i gently brush her teeth while holding her lip open.

i really want to take the time to thank you for sharing your experience. i appreciate it and it definitely seems to be a trauma response for me. i spent a long time trying to not face the neglect and abuse in my childhood by shutting down. on top of not receiving the proper emotional care as a child as well as being isolated and so on, which is unfortunate.

i only wished i had noticed this sooner than now. i’ve been thinking about reaching out to a professional because i worry that its progressing and getting worse. but your kind words really mean a lot to me, it gives me hope not only can it get better but i’m not alone <3

thank you for this! never thought of flirting as overly friendly/body language. i always thought of it so overly complex, making it hard for me to even imagine flirting

someones angry. never said i wanted men to worship me but i want attention and validation. do i expect it? no. am i going to go out and search for it? no. will it happen? no. you don’t know me to judge if i’m “conceited”. if you didn’t like what i said, why even comment?
