What to Do When Your Cat Has Swollen, Red Gums?
Swollen, red gums in cats can come from plaque, tartar, oral infection, poor nutrition, or teething. Mild cases may respond to a pet oral antiseptic spray or anti-inflammatory medication, while tartar and periodontal disease may need a dental cleaning or extraction. Feeding soft wet food and rinsing with pet mouthwash during recovery, plus regular brushing, prevents recurrence.

Should cat food be soaked or not?
For cats over 3 months, normally don't soak — dry kibble exercises jaw/teeth and doesn't stick, good for oral health. Soaked food is soft, easy to digest, gentler on gut, so good for cats with mouth or gut disease. Kittens 1-3 months have immature guts, so soak for them. After wet food, rinse the mouth and brush regularly to avoid tartar.
