A cat's teeth are designed to to hold down, kill and eat prey. The canines are very long in cats because these teeth help the cat hold on to its prey. They can also be use to kill the prey. Human canines are very blunt and are used to help tear meat.
Cats and humans both have premolars and molars, but a cat's back teeth are sharp and serrated and act like scissors; cutting up meat into bite-size chunks in order for the cat to swallow. A cat's jaw only moves up and down, so a cat cannot chew its food.
