How to brush your cat's teeth, if you have the chillest cat in the world

Brushing a cat's teeth is apparently something that owners can (and probably should?) do, but the idea of sticking a toothbrush into a cat's mouth isn't exactly pleasant.

Luckily, the Helpful Vancouver Vet has a handful guide on how to brush those feline pearly whites. Or should we say ... purr-ly whites.

Anyway, assisting Dr. Burstyn is the chillest cat in the entire world, Clawdia, who barely reacts as he brushes her teeth with a special flavored toothpaste.

The best way to get your cat used to teeth brushing, apparently, is to start sticking your fingers in their mouth when they're little kittens. That way, they're used to all the poking and prodding and you can take care of their dental hygiene.

Just don't try this with your adult cat at home because you'll likely be in for some bites.
