Pt 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is nothing more disgusting that bad breath in humans let alone your animals.\u00a0 As with humans, there h as to be an underlying reason when you notice a problem with bad breath or otherwise known as Halitosis.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone suffers bad breath from what they have just eaten \u2013 even cats have the same problem.\u00a0 However, there is a difference to having bad fishy breath or garlicy breath than smelling like a tank of unmentionables just exploded way down deep somewhere in your body that is now in your mouth and you can\u2019t get far enough away from it to get a long way from the stench.<\/p>\n<p>As with anything there are causes \u2013 deep down causes and the unpleasant odour is just a warning that something is not right inside.<\/p>\n<p>It might just be a matter of something wrong inside your mouth.\u00a0 Where a cat is concerned, dental disease is the most common problem behind bad breath.\u00a0 We at least are trained to brush our teeth and rinse our mouths at least twice a day, but where your cat is concerned he does not have such luxuries as a toothbrush or a mouth rinse thrust at him by his mother from the moment he is walking.<\/p>\n<p>Even in cats, they have saliva and they have plaque, both of which carry their own form of bacteria.\u00a0 If plaque never gets removed then a cats mouth is subject\u00a0 to all sorts of disease that also plague us humans.\u00a0 Mineralised plaque forms tartar and if the plaque is not removed then this will lead to periodontal disease which is simply an inflammation that forms on the structures that support and surround the teeth \u2013 gums easily become involved with this inflammation and there you have it \u2013 instant bad odours from the mouth caused through insufficient cleaning of the mouth area to put it nicely.<\/p>\n<p>The pain that comes with all of this inflammation then causes your cat to stop chewing effectively and then of course he probably will not enjoy being touched in that area either and will start to resent and react accordingly and become a very grumpy cat.<\/p>\n<p>Please do not think you can carry out general tooth cleaning with your own brush and toothpaste \u2013 cats have their own specially designed tooth maintenance machinery and potions\u00a0 &#8211; take your cat to the Vet to carry out this procedure and often.<\/p>\n<p>If left untreated and uncleaned, then other serious health problems will result \u2013 not just oral pain, but abscesses, loss of teeth, infections throughout the body and a failure in heart and kidney health.<\/p>\n<p>We are talking <strong>SERIOUS<\/strong> when it comes to bad breath.<\/p>\n<p>Bad breath can be caused by smelly diets.\u00a0\u00a0 Not sure what you can do about that when your cat probably loves his food \u2013 and a particular flavour and make.<\/p>\n<p>Click here for Pt 2<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading my blog.<br \/>\nPlease comment below and share my link.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/amis-de-chat-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Debbie Nicholson<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debbienicholson.info\/catsteethpt1.m4a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here for your Audio link to this blog<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=DG9G3A3M6HCPW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/images\/life-happens-volume-1-3d.png\" alt=\"Life Happens Volume 1\" width=\"165\" height=\"219\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Life Happens Volume 1 A Collection of Funny Emails and Facebook Messages Dating From The 1980s To 2012<\/p>\n<p>Our Favourite Links<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thewellgroomedpet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cathy&#8217;s Well Groomed Site<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cathealth.com\/dental-care\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dental Care<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cathealth.com\/dental-care\/halitosis-in-cats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Halitosis<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/debbie-nicholson\/wherewouldyourunifyouhadto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Debbie&#8217;s Other Blog<br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/debbienicholson.info\/amisdechatbook2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amis de Chat Book 2<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=5QMBK9P5UQCEC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-174 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/506-694-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Amis de Chat\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/amis-de-chat-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Product Launch<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Care For Your Cats Teeth?
