brushing your cat's teeth

[Shawnee123]

No way...Tajjy would drag it away because she likes to pretend that she's afraid of Gaines (though I've seen her sneak a swipe at him from time to time.) There would be bones everywhere.

You're not supposed to give dogs chicken bones because they splinter...do cats know this?

Yeah. I have a couple "chainsaws" that I have to keep a box of bandaids handy when I have to medicate them...and the vet wants me to purposely stick my fingers in their mouth? Um, I'd rather let the vet do that.
I also had a cat who lost all but her canine teeth and she did just fine on canned food twice a day and dry food to snack on whenever she wished. She maintained her weight just fine, the fat little butterball.

Cooked chicken bones splinter. Raw ones do not.
The small pieces a cat can gnaw off a chicken wing pass through the digestive tract just fine. Bones (raw) get sort of goo-ey and soft as the digestive juices work on them. The larger bones, the cat just gnaws along the bone to get the meat off.
