My cat has recently started to
grind its teeth and I'm worried that something may be wrong. I have never
noticed her doing this before but can not identify any other symptoms of
illness. (Adam Coston, UK)
Teeth grinding is often a sign of an improper
bite in kittens. However, if your cat is mature and she has only just started
doing this, it is certainly worth visiting the vet for a thorough oral
examination. In the meantime, it may just work changing her diet from wet to dry
or vice versa. Sometimes a wet diet doesn't provide enough 'bite' for a cat's
gums.
