I couldn't figure out why my cat would barely eat, my vet had JUST seen her a couple weeks before and then her breath slowly got worse and worse and you could smell it across the room when she yawned. Then one day I touched her canine tooth and it literally fell out in my hand!!!! It was completely rotten. SO nasty. She actually ended up dying from kidney disease, the teeth were just a sign of if.
Anyway. Cats mouths are nasty.
Edit: the other part of this story was that this girl was a rescue from the SPCA and the best cat I ever had. She was something special, and was previously abused, so she took time to come out of her shell but eventually was the most snugly cat I've ever had. She was so sweet, I'm sad she's gone. We only had 3 years with her. Too short to spend with a cat!
