My cat grinds her teeth, can anyone know why, she has diabetes but I don't think that's the reason .?

when she grinds her teeth I give her a little dry food %26amp; she stops but there might other reasons that's all the details I can give, just hoing maybe someone has the same (problem) not realy a problem. I wouldn't want her wear out her teeth, must be a reason for her doing this.

Are you sure she hasn't got gum disease because if she has any loose teeth they will aggravate her and that could be her way of trying to get out any loose ones. I would suggest that she sees a vet for your peace of mind and her health.
Reply:My cat has been to the vet %26amp; doesn't have any gum diease or loose teeth, she had a tooth removed in July %26amp; since had her teeth cleaned, the vet says there is nothing wrong with her teeth. It's her silly way of asking for a treat but thank you all for your input its greatly appreciated. Report It

Reply:she doesn't grind her teeth every day only once in a while usally in th early morning to wake me up, i think. Report It

Reply:I have no more comments Report It

Reply:i use to have a cat that did the same thing that we put done but the reason she/he is doing this is because of teeth proplems or even a jaw problem make sure you get the cat to the vet right away so they can take x-rays to see what might be up with the cat to cause that problem...GOOD LUCK!!!!
Reply:well maybe your cat needs to see the dentist, it may be shes trying to grind any sharp bits which are uncomfortable, or it may simply be because she doesnt realise shes doing it, maybe the same reasons why people do it. my 3 yr old grinds his teeth in his sleep. who knows why. strange habit. if your worried ask your vet.
