Just as with humans, cat\\\’s bad breath is normally the result of problems in the mouth, such as an abcess under the gums. It is also possibly be something the cat eats. A co-worker of mine had bad breath standing five feet away from his diet (lots of garlic and curry powder). However, dental health is so important you should take your cat to the vet to check for possible dental problems and get them taken care of. Don\\\’t waste time messing with its diet unless you get an all clear from the vet on her mouth.
