LJ, a Connecticut dog, writes in to correct:

I personally am on barking and breathing terms with three cats with halitosis. They do keep coming back from the dentist, though.

Mickey: Well, I would consider this an exception, not a rule. And, I would be highly suspicious of what your owner is feeding said cats if they are exhibiting this most uncat-like quality. 

Flea: That said, if the mouth odor bothers you (and I'm sure it does) move further away from the creatures to bark. And, if your human has enough imagination to understand you, politely suggest that he change dentists.

Mickey: Or better yet, the food.
