With my cats, when their breath odor was off, the cause was usually a dental issue.

Just to be safe, you might want to give your vet a call and asked if your sweetie needs to be checked.

Other members might have some other ideas for you.

I suggest a vet visit . It could be nothing or this could be something caught early


If after a vet check nothing is found there are many teeth cleaning / breath freshening aid s at the pet store ..

Cats with IBD can have terrible bad breath. Cats with FeLV can also have very bad breath. (Bad breath is one warning sign of FeLV.)

To start with, ask your vet to retest for FeLV. When FeLV is ruled out, look for possible dental or digestive problems.

IBD is inflammatory bowel disease and FeLV is feline leukemia virus.
