Pearly Whites

First, Happy New Year.

The Weeg recently had five teeth removed. She's had bad teeth her whole life. Something about kitty saliva reacting badly with her kitty food. She had one or two removed a few years ago in Montreal as well. So when the vet told me they'd taken five out this time, I was a little concerned that she'd need dentures.

But no. They sent us away with a little kitty toothbrush and some poultry flavoured toothpaste and told me to brush them regularly. That's got to be my New Year's Resolution:

I must brush The Weeg's teeth more often.
I must not spend another $900 dollars on cat dentristry.

But I fear brushing Weeg's teeth will be much like flossing my own. I tell people I do...but really, I could be a hell of a lot better at it....like more than once in awhile...so that I don't spend hours after flossing complain that my gums are aching. The Weeg and I clearly have some oral issues to address in 2006.




In the meantime, I am happy to say she has some teeth left.

And I still don't have any cavities.
