Bad breath in cats is usually a sign of either an oral disease or kidney failure, i would strongly recommend taking Tabu to the vet ASAP in order to get it checked and treated, if her oral cavity does not seem to be the problem a blood test will need to be done to confirm or rule out kidney failure.
