In reply to Niki.
Hi Niki, that’s a great question. You may need to get your cat used to it over the course of a week or two. You can start by putting a little cat toothpaste on your finger and letting your cat lick it off, so he gets used to the taste. Never use human toothpaste for cats. Once your cat gets used to the toothpaste, try offering it on a toothbrush. When your cat starts to lick it off, see if you can insert the toothbrush into his mouth a little bit and move it in brushing motions along his teeth and gum line. Eventually, your cat will get used to having the toothbrush in his mouth and you can actually start brushing his teeth. You may only be able to do one side of his mouth or a few teeth at a time but do what you can and try to brush all of his teeth several times a week.
