Dental tips

Remember to eat a balanced diet, drink fresh water and chew on crunchy treats. Daily play also helps keep a cat's jaw strong. No one needs to look closely, but you can always check in the mirror yourself.

You will be greeted at the door, offered a comfortable seat and shown to a room with an excellent view of a potted plant. Your dentist will say hello, then look somewhere else for the rest of the appointment.

A yawn is a cat's way of showing confidence. Open wide, curl the tongue and let your whiskers stretch. Practise a few times each day and enjoy the sense of well being it brings.
