How do you keep your cat from stealing your toothbrush?

I have bought so many new ones lately. I've tried keeping put up, she always finds it. Wrapped in a towel or she will knock something else over to get to it. I tried just giving her a brissel hair brush.

lol Sorry but just had to laugh cause I have a cat that loves toothbrushes as well. Reason your cat is stealing them is cause of the mint smell on them. Think catnip and what it does to a cat and you'll know why your cat likes your toothbrushes so much. My cat doesn't steal them but he will jump up on the vanity and 'brush' his teeth with my brush right after I'm done with it. He will even lick the toothpaste right out of the tube if I let him. Your just going to have to get a case with a secure lid and keep it in there.

i recently reorganized my spare bedroom and to my surprise i found peppermint candy in the wrapper chewed some degree under the bed, i went and looked in a candy dish i have, and under the couch, she has chewed several pieces of peppermint candy, i didn't know that the mint thing was a attraction to cats. oh! i have also gotten a toothbrush holder as well.

Next time you go to the dentist, ask for a case for your toothbrush. Your cat would have to be a genius to get a snapped shut case open.

Have you tried putting it in a tooth brush holder? Do you have a medicine cabinet you can put it in?

Hi, that is so cute...but I know you dont like for her to do that. Why do you think she wants the toothbrushes? Maybe you could make her a toy out of a few real cheap tooth brushes, you know, tie them together and hang them on a door knob or handle where she can play with them. Then lock yours up inside a plastic box.
