Dumb question

[silverthorne]

Because I never had a cat that did this before.

Foot seems to like to 'brush her teeth' by chewing on and dragging the bristles of the broom through her teeth.

1) Is this normal?
2) Is this an early indication of gingivitis or some other gum/tooth problem?
3) Should I worry and hide the broom?

From kitten teeth coming in? She's a bit old for that? I dunno.

She goes in to get her stiches out today, though, so I'll ask the doc and see what he says (including whether it's okay to let her do that or if I need to get brooms out of reach so she doesn't destroy her gums or something).

Oh! Lol. :)

It stopped that same night.

Yeah.
I live next door to four cats.
Two of 'em have been in the house.
And the dogs? Not in the house. But you know about the shoe adventure. And they don't do that.

Oboy. Methinks you are being invaded. ;)

The shoe adventure is still making me smile this morning.
