    • He wants to chew on something. Give him more meat instead of processed food. Some cats like carrot strips or even small pieces of apple, try them. Get him a meat bone to gnaw on, a real one and not some created thing. Best wishes

    • I give mine raw chicken neck and raw chicken wings..Now she is not grinding the teeth..What ever you are doing just keep it up..Maybe give her more cuddle and love her more..She should be ok..Good luck...!!

    • Teeth grinding in cats is not uncommon. Some grind their teeth in the same action as they would to get their mother's milk..so sometimes the action..like kneeding is still repeated even though they have grown to adulthood. Stress or even hairballs can also cause teeth grinding. Have her checked (they will probably do Xrays) for hairballs that may be bothering her. Cats find dim places with lots of hidding spots a comfortable environment. So if she is always out in the open, like in the living room or kitchen..or even big rooms she will be more stressed. Give her some more hidding spots around the house and you will find her being more at ease. Keep up the dental care, as even if it is not the problem...it's very good for their health.Good Luck :)
