Yeah, I’d been messing with her mouth and trying to get in some little scrubs to get her used to the toothbrush… but today was the first real attempt at a clean and it was so difficult.

She tightens her lips to keep me from getting to the back teeth that need it most and they or the gums seem quite sore. I’d use bonjela but it isn’t safe for cats. I only bought brush and paste but I should have got mouth gel and swabs to apply it in the hope of getting things less inflamed and sore before going in with the brush.
Maybe I can get a chance to swing by a pet shop that has them soon.
Edit: I brushed my own teeth right after and she just sat and watched me do it with a haunted thousand yard stare
