Have never tried to brush ours' teeth -- I can't imagine them sitting still for it, really. ^^;

We do brush them and clip their nails, though, and that is totally a thing we do for our own convenience. We do have occasional problems with hairballs (Ren is the worst for this), and it also decreases the amount of shedding they do during petting if they get loose fur brushed out occasionally. They don't care for it, but for us it's worth the trouble.

Clipping their nails is a similar situation. Most of them are kneaders, and scratching the posts doesn't keep their nails *short*, so they hit a point where they'll come up to knead in somebody's lap and it's really painful. (...In the summer, they will also sometimes try to scratch the window screens and then get stuck.) They fuss, but they hold still for it, and it makes our lives more comfortable. ^^;
