No, it is not OK to use hydrogen peroxide to rub on a cat's gums for inflammation because it is too harsh a product. There is also the risk that the cat will swallow the hydrogen peroxide.
Hydrogen peroxide should never be used on: mucus membranes, open wounds, or internally. This applies to anyone or any animal. It kills cells on contact.

The exact ratio is not too scientific.Also - try using equal parts of table salt and baking soda in the mix, then add the appropriate amount of hydrogen peroxide. To make it easy, some people make the mix right in the palm of their hand, but it could irritate your skin so you'll have to see for yourself.Either way, get it on your brush, and apply it into your gums using little wiggly back-and-forth movements of the brush at the gum line.
