What Color Are Healthy Gums?

Healthy cat gums should be a light pink color. Cat gums that are in good health should also not be rough. When you touch your cat’s gums, they should feel wet and slick from saliva.

Gums Growing Over Teeth

If a cat’s teeth appear to be receding beneath the gum line, this could imply a tooth resorption. This usually happens with older felines.

Tacky Or Dry Gums

The gums on your cat shouldn’t be dry or sticky. If they are, this might mean your cat is dehydrated.

Bumps, Craters Or Lesions

The presence of craters or open sores in the cat’s gums could indicate a bacterial infection brought on by poor dental hygiene. If a cat has bumps or lesions on their gums, this could be due to oral cancer.

How To Keep My Cat’s Gums Healthy?

- Brush her teeth 2 to 4 times a week

- Provide your cat with dental chews and toys

- Schedule regular dental check-ups

- Feed a well-balanced diet and fresh, clean water

- Watch out for changes
