Does anyone know how to prevent or cure cat bad breath?
I have two cats -- a matched pair of 16 pound, red,
alley cats named Castor and Pollux. Castor has terrible
breath. His teeth seem to be o.k. He doesn't seem
to be sick.
Any suggestions?

If "kittitosis" is the same in non-humans, then the cause is usually
what the cat has eaten. Halitosis results from the gases collected
in the stomach and exhaled. Mouthwash, gum, etc. only cover up
the odor, not cure it. I would check what your cats eat. Mine
get terrible "kittitosis" from tunafish - real "funabreath", but
usually eating dry food gets rid of this.

Amelia has chronic bad breath. Bailey doesn't have a breath problem.
They both eat the same things, mostly dry food with some variations.
I've tried brushing Amelia's teeth with her Micky Mouse toothbrush
and peroxide but I get more peroxide on me than her teeth and she
still has bad breath. Does parsley work for cats? I'm running
out of creative/functional ideas.

Have your vet check for tartar. A tartar buildup oftyen results
in bad breath. Tartar can be scaled easily and makes the cat's
mouth healthier.
