Yes, cats have special teeth for tearing meat. A cat's canines are for holding down prey, while the back teeth (premolars and molars) are specially designed to cut bite-sized bits of meat away, much like scissors. A cat can also use these teeth to crack and crunch bone, which provides them with calcium and other nutrients.
