We currently have 4 cats. 2 unrelated 14 yr olds. The male tabby has no problems, which the vet find remarkable at this age. The female tuxie started showing gum inflammation very early in her life. We also have a brother&sister Siamese-mix pair who are 3 yrs old. The brother has a perfectly clean mouth. His sister just had to have 7 teeth extracted.
