It might be that your cat has a fowl smelling mouth… what did she do?  Did she eat a rat or two?  Well…. It depends.

 

While cat dental problems are some of the most common problems that veterinarians have to deal with in a daily basis, these are not the only problems that they encounter and certainly are not always the problem why “cotton ball” has such as terrible mouth odour.

 

Cats are natural born hunters.  They will enjoy the excitement of the hunt that they will take as a game; a thing that most cat lovers will find mostly attractive, the problem is what will they do once they get whatever it is they are hunting?  Some cats will end up killing that thing that they were hunting and letting the corpse there to rot while they venture into something else that will attract their attention.

 

In other cases, they will eat whatever it was that they hunted.  It is in these occasions that the breath of your beloved “Mr Whiskers” might be as fowl as a sewer scented bubble gum…  But why?  Because some of the nutrients, skin and other parts of specific animals decompose in a very specific and particular form, for example, when your cat eats birds, the feathers will decompose in a gassy way. 

 

As a result of the feather’s decomposition, your kitty cat will might even suffer some degree of bloating and, as bloating sets in, he or she will be forced to expel such gases.  Their natural form is usually the road taken.  Still, the digestive tract of a cat is pretty much the same as in humans, at least in odour releasing terms. 

 

The bag of flesh that the stomach truly is, allows the feathers to decompose in the most proper way, but they will still release gas and stench, which, in turn, is what will make your cat stinky breath.
