Persian Cat

　　Scientific and healthy ways to raise pet cats include brushing their teeth 3-4 times each week to ensure their oral health. To help cats adapt to brushing, owners should start training from kittenhood, allowing cats to gradually become familiar with and accustomed to the brushing process. So, what good methods can help cats quickly adapt to brushing?

　　When training cats to brush their teeth, it is important to proceed step by step. First, let the cat become familiar with the feeling of brushing rubbing against their teeth and get used to it, then let the cat become familiar with the taste of toothpaste.

　　In the early stages of brushing training, the owner can dip their finger lightly in some toothpaste and gently rub the cat’s teeth. After a period of training, switch to a softer pet toothbrush. When brushing the cat’s teeth, the movements should be gentle and quick; hold the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle and insert it between the teeth and gums, rotating it in small circles on the teeth to thoroughly remove tartar from the gaps and tooth surfaces.

　　To prevent the cat from resisting or running away during brushing, before formal brushing, the owner should have necessary communication and interaction with the cat to relax the cat’s tension and guard feelings. When the cat’s mood becomes relaxed with the owner’s encouragement and soothing, the formal brushing process can begin.

　　To better attract cats and help them adapt to brushing, necessary relaxation preparations can be done before each brushing. After brushing, the owner should praise or reward the cat with treats to encourage and attract the cat’s interest in the next brushing.
