ok so I've noticed my almost 2 yr old cat has now got a lil bit of a stinky breathe, any recommendations for freshening things up? also looking for a good way to keep his teeth clean, they lookin a lil yellow

If he will eat raw food that will help. One of mine demands a raw chicken wing each day and her teeth are really clean. The bones are OK as they aren't cooked.

However lots of cats turn their noses up at such a treat, and it can be messy if they change from eating to dragging and killing...

Other than that, biscuits can help, but some cats simply need their teeth cleaned a lot more than others.

well he gets the occasional fish from the mongers generally get boneless, generally his day to day diet is a mix of whiskas and sheba with a side dish of go-cat.

When I can truely afford it we get him whiskas dentibites thingys but being unemployed I do generally stick to just getting the essential wet an dry food

Next time you have chicken, see if he will eat some of it raw. Packs of 'value' chicken wings are cheap though you need a freezer as they don't last as long as it takes the cat to eat them - I wrap mine (e.g. Minnies!) in twos or threes in clingfilm and freeze them. I eat some myself as well!

What you don't want to end up with is a cat that needs his teeth cleaning as that's a general anasthetic job, and it's very bad for the cat if he ends up with decayed teeth and/or infected gums.

it's not that his teeth are close to being bad I just noticed they were lookin yellow and wondered of a good way to clean em.

I can guarantee this cat of mine will be more than happy to swipe chicken off us lol these value chicken wings they just regular value ones from like asda or tesco?

Yes, the cheap packs of wings are fine....RAW, not cooked though. I freeze them flat on a tray then bag them up so I can defrost one at a time
BTW....eating raw meaty bones will change his toilet habits...less poop, less smelly and white in colour. If the cat likes raw meat then it works out really reasonable as a food....try chicken hearts or gizzards which are excelent for cats health and their teeth.

Is it not dangerous giving a cat raw chicken?

A natural diet for cats is raw meat.... Nothing wrong with feeding a cat raw meat, nothing dangerous about it either, but I don't leave Minnie with a wing when I'm out. For one thing when she is full she changes from eating to playing with it - throwing it around, dragging it, killing it (!) and that's messy, so I take it away and put it back in the fridge.

Note that raw chicken wings are not a complete diet for a cat. Normally they would be eating lots more yucky bits of whatever they catch, so although Minnie would be happy to eat nothing but raw wings she isn't let have that many.

You can make a complete raw diet for cats (lots on Google about this) but it's not as simple as you might think.

Finally, tooth colour isn't much of a clue as not all cats have pearly white knashers. If you can manage to get a look at the gum margins especially at the back those are. If they are pink and inflamed he has a problem, if there is lots of tartar he has a problem, and really bad breathe suggests a problem as well. I don't mean normal cat breathe from eating cat food.

Starting to eat some raw food will help but if he has deposits of hard plaque only a visit to the vets will get those off.
