Dear Savannah . . .

My brother and I were just hanging out the other day, staring at each other between naps.  At one point, my brother yawned and I have to say a not so pleasant odor wafted my way.  Now I understand why that cute calico next door has been ignoring him.  Come to think of it, she keeps her distance from me, too.

Savannah, should we be concerned about our bad breath, and do they make a mouthwash for cats—maybe something cat minty fresh?

Dear Tux and Stash,
Nothing puts a damper on romance more than tuna breath.  I suppose I should admit that even my breath is sometimes less than minty fresh.  Here’s the deal, all cats exhibit bad breath to a certain extent and it’s completely normal.  But if you consistently have particularly foul breath there could be an underlying problem—and a trip to the doctor would be recommended.

Glad I was able to answer you online instead of face-to-face.  No offense intended!
