Kittens lose their deciduous teeth (baby/kitten teeth) at around 5 to 6 months of age, and the adult canine teeth grow in. Adult cats may lose these teeth due to injury or disease, and new teeth do not grow back.

Do cats lose teeth or claws?

Yes they lose their teeth when they are younger, but if they don't lose them after a while you need to take them to the vet to be pulled don't try it yourself. Cats should have all their adult teeth by seven or eight months old. However, many cats develop gum diseases by the time they are three or four years old, and some will indeed loose teeth, or have to have them removed to stop infection spreading. As for claws, cats do not naturally lose claws (although the outer layers will shed - which is what keeps a cat's claws sharp). A cat's claws are attached to their toe bones, so are very strong and are not meant to be removed.

Cats can lose their whiskers naturally during shedding season or due to general wear and tear. Whiskers may also break or fall out if the cat is engaged in activities that put stress on them, such as rough play or squeezing into tight spaces. Whiskers will grow back over time, as they are essential for a cat's sensory perception.
