Hi Everyone

This may sound like an obvious question but since this is my first baby-kit I'm aware of everything that's different.

I realise that my 5 month old has baby teeth as his mouth of teeth looks nothing like my adult cats teeth. The only thing is I was wondering if it's normal to find the small baby teeth falling out as I found one last night with a clean break at the gum and not broken or damaged in any way and he is making a strange sucking noise (I'm guessing similar to me when I have had a tooth out when it feels strange. I have looked in his mouth and can't see where the tooth has come out of but there is no signs of redness, soreness or bad health. He is still eating fine and crunching on dry food as well as eating wet food.

Do I have anything to worry about ? I'm such a worrier

Hi There,

You have nothing to worry about

By the time a cat is 6 months old all of the adult teeth are in. Some of the baby teeth don't fall out right away, so don't worry if you see 2 rows of teeth in your cat's mouth. This sometimes happens also. The last teeth to come in are the adult canines.

Normally kittens will swallow teeth when they fall out so it's not unusual to not see any of them. I think they are cute and will save them if I see any on the floor With my last kitten, Whispurr, when I checked her teeth at almost 6 months of age, a couple of canines were very loose so I removed them myself.

Take care, and continue to enjoy your baby
