Abstract
A combination toothbrush holder, floss dispenser, drinking cup and toothpaste holder designed to compactly hold and dispense the above items while maintaining a unified appearance in the shape of a sitting cat. The head portion contains a standard dental floss container. The floss protrudes through a hole in the cat shaped head. A cutting blade is affixed to the top of the cat shaped head for cutting the floss. The midsection of the cat shape forms a drinking cup and also forms an enclosure for a standard toothpaste tube. The base section of the cat shape contains a pair of mating rollers capable of squeezing a tube of toothpaste captured between the two rollers. This happens when the user rotates the tail portion of the cat shape which is rigidly connected to the shaft of one of the rollers. The outside portion of the base contains receptacles for a plurality of toothbrushes. In this way, the present invention holds and dispenses all the items necessary for caring for the teeth and gums and does so in a compact and novel fashion which will entice the user the use the dental care items contained therein.
