How many litter boxes should you have? Ideally, you should provide one litter box per cat, plus an additional box as a precaution. Even with diligent maintenance, some cats are reluctant to share their elimination space. Locate boxes in each cat's preferred spot so one cat doesn't have to cross another cat's turf to access the litter. Having choice is an important aspect of multicat harmony.

Tooth resorption is when a cat’s body starts breaking down and absorbing the hard tissue of their teeth (like enamel and dentin). Over time, this can cause damage to the teeth, often starting at the roots and working its way up.

How common is it?
This condition is common, affecting more than 50-75% of cats over 4 years old

Symptoms to Watch For:
Cats are sneaky about dental pain, but here are some possible signs.
1. Drooling.
2. Trouble eating or avoiding dry food.
3. Pawing at their mouth or face.
4. Red, inflamed gums (especially near the affected tooth).
5. Tooth loss or broken teeth.
6. Bad breath—no judgment, but if it smells worse than usual, it’s worth checking.

What Causes It?
The exact cause is a mystery (cats love their secrets), but some potential culprits include:
• Genetics: Some cats might just be more prone to it.
• Diet and oral health: Issues with calcium, plaque, or tartar could contribute.

Treatment Options:
Unfortunately, tooth resorption isn’t reversible. But don’t panic—here’s how your vet can help:
1. Tooth Extraction: If the damage is severe, the affected tooth will need to be removed.
2. Pain Management: Your vet may prescribe medication to keep your kitty comfy during recovery.
3. Regular Dental Care: Prevention is key! Professional cleanings and at-home care (like brushing or dental treats) can help protect your cat’s teeth.

💡 Pro Tip: Cats need regular dental checkups, especially as they age. A lot of cats with tooth resorption don’t show obvious signs of pain, so dental X-rays during routine checkups can catch it early.

💖 This Valentine’s Day, show your pet some extra love while keeping them safe – and help keep other pets safe by sharing this post!​

Here are a few Valentine’s pet safety tips to keep in mind:​
🍫Keep chocolate, candy, and treats with xylitol far out of reach—they’re toxic to pets!​
💐Watch out for flowers like lilies, which are especially dangerous for cats.​
🕯️Be mindful of lit candles and decorations that curious paws might knock over.​
🎁Secure ribbons, strings, and wrappers to avoid accidental ingestion.​

Wishing you and your pets a safe and sweet Valentine’s Day!​

Want to keep your cat engaged even when you're not around? Interactive play is essential, but safe solo toys are just as important for enrichment! Too often, they end up forgotten in a corner. Keep things fresh by rotating toys, adding a sprinkle of catnip a couple of times a week, and placing toys in fun, unexpected spots for your cat to "hunt." A little effort goes a long way in keeping your cat happy, engaged, and entertained.

Did you know cats have a second "nose"? 🐾👃

It’s called the Jacobson's organ (or vomeronasal organ, if you want to sound fancy), and it’s located on the roof of their mouth. Cats use it to "smell" things in a whole different way—kind of like a built-in chemical detector! When your kitty pauses to open their mouth slightly after sniffing something (called the Flehmen response), they’re analyzing pheromones and other scents.

Basically, your cat’s out here being a tiny scientist, sniffing for secrets in the air. 🔬😺
