They have a row of small "sand-paper" like teeth on both the top and bottom jaws. Each row consists of hundreds of teeth and these predominantly soft and are used to grip the prey; they slope inwards toward the back of the mouth. In front of the throat cavity are two crushing plates, which the cats use to squash its prey prior to swallowing. They also have a number of short spikes on the edge of the gills. These are used to manipulate their pray prior to swallowing. Although this description might sound horrible it is quite safe to put your hand (and arm) into a catfish's mouth as the teeth are soft and only occasionally scratch.
