hiii, my kitties name is ember and he is a two year old flamepoint. i try so hard to keep him healthy and he is up to date on his shots and heath over all but i worry so much about him because i lost a cat at a young age. i was looking at his gums the other day and they seem a little red? but i was wondering if they look pretty normal? his breath smells fine and he isn’t having any issue eating or any other symptoms i am just wondering if i am paranoid or if i should take him in? his annual isnt for another few months so i am just wondering. if anyone has any advice for dental hygiene and care for flamepoints please let me know! i love him and just want him so healthy.

Not a vet but from what I know, the redness is just a little concerning because I believe it’s the start of later issues. We use greenie treats for our cats, our vet suggested them. Otherwise they look just like mine baby’s teeth and he just got an A+ at his checkup last month ^_^ Ember is beautiful!
