Just like people, cats learn at different rates

The rate of progress depends on your cats personality and on your own dexterity. Generally, the timeframe to progress from introducing the brush and paste to brushing all of the teeth seems to be anywhere from one week to 1 month. From your cat’s perspective, home dental care can mean nice attention from you, tasty toothpaste delivered on a soft brush, and a treat afterwards. If you invest a bit of patience and a few extra minutes now, you can make sure that your cat will always think of toothbrushing as a pleasant experience. Eventually, your cat will show eager anticipation when you get out the brush, toothpaste, and a treat.
