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?

Our cat Cranky used to do that.

I think he did it for the same reason most cats do things: because it felt good.

I cannot answer that.

I can tell you, however, that Archie drinks by sticking his paws in the water and sucking on them. So cats, who the hell knows?

Have I shown you Archie yet? This is he:

Cats are weird. I'm not sure what is normal. I figure as long as they don't bark, then they're fine.

My cats like to drink out of the toilet. Sheesh.

Gums still itchy?

Totally normal for a cat. :) Just keep your eye on your electrical cords! We've got one that likes to chew them. Thank goodness for circut breakers!
