Most cats will put up with it for a few seconds, so you have to be quick. I let them have a bit of toothpaste as a treat as they seem to like the taste
If your cat is vicious or scared to death, wrap him in a towel and get someone to hold him while you do the cleaning. All 3 of my cats hate it, but it needs to be done.
brushing my cat's teeth is a cinch someday i'll put my videos on here my cat's hecka cute when she doesn't want me to brush her teeth anymore, she takes her paw and and pushes my hand/arm down with it lol
That lady made it look so easy...I wonder if she would do my 15-lbs cat. I have to wear latex gloves so I don't get scratched. My cat is very strong and he will fight me.

ok my cat would kill me if i did that to him!!! and y the hell do u need 2 brush a cats teeth? i just give him a tartar controll treat! he really likes those...
Tartar control treats do not do the job 100%. It's great to use them in addition to brushing, but not as the sole means to clean your cats teeth. If you don't believe me, have fun with the $500+ dental bills in the future. The going rate right now for extractions is about $98 per 10 minutes and that doesn't include descaling.
Have you watched your cat eat tartar control treats? How many times does he crunch each one? How many crunches would it take to actually sweep each surface of his teeth to get them clean?
Most cats may crunch it once or twice, then they swallow the chunks whole.
That isn't a very effective way of cleaning the teeth, wouldn't you agree?
Dental care for cats is still a new idea for most people. But I want the best for my cats, even if it means some inconvenience for me. Aren't they worth it?
You're totally right. Cats, as obligate carnivores, don't have jaw muscles which enable them to grind food. Their mouths mostly go up and down. That's why dry food has no health benefits to them (and plenty of health detriments).
If you had looked closer, you'd see she's supporting both his shoulders (with her thumbs) and elbows (with her fingers) as she lifts him. That's an acceptable way to move a cat a short distance and won't hurt him. If she'd just grabbed his forearms she could have hurt him. But that's not what she did.
And clearly, since the cat remained relaxed and didn't struggle, he was in no discomfort.

She makes it look so easy. You KNOW it's not that easy. My cat would make my arm look like it's been in a threshing machine if I tried that with him.

I would LOVE to brush my cat's teeth but if I tried, he'd claw me to ribbons. I wish my cat was as laid back as the one in the vid.

Tartar control treats don't really work. Its just an advertising trick they use to make you buy it.
Just think about it.... Do pretzels and cookies clean your teeth?
