Hello,

Last year we took our cat to the vet for some shots.  While we were 
there, the vet said that it is about time to get our cat's teeth 
cleaned.  The cat is about four years old.  We feed him mostly dry 
cat food and once in a while he gets Tender Vittles.  Well, the topic
came up recently again between my wife and I.  She feels that it is 
necessary to get his teeth cleaned or else his teeth might start 
decaying.  My question is:  Is this really necessary for the cat's 
health or is this an unnecessary expense?  I thought that the dry cat
food would keep his teeth in shape.  Comments?
