Yes, kittens do lose their baby teeth when the adult teeth start to come in at around four months of age. Most of the time owners do not notice as the old teeth are swallowed when they fall out, and just like humans the gums are unlikely to bleed. Also, some kittens do not show any symptoms of teething. Kittens usually have all their adult teeth at around seven months old.
Nothing will happen if a cat swallows a tooth. Kittens, when teething, will normally just swallow each tooth as it comes out. A cat's stomach has evolved to digest a carnivorous diet which includes meat, organs and bones, so a cat can easily digest a small tooth. However, if your cat is an adult and seems to be losing teeth, it is advisable to take it to the vets so they can check the cat's mouth for any infection or injury.
A wild cat compared to a domestic cat has the sharpest teeth. For example a tiger will have sharper teeth because of hunting in the wild for survival.
There can be a number of reasons why your cat is losing teeth. The most common reason usually is some sort of dental issue. Sadly, gingivitis and other dental diseases are becoming increasingly common in cats. Some of the signs of this is very bad breath and tooth loss. Another reason could be old age, or your cat has suffered an injury in its mouth, causing teeth to fall out. The only way to be sure is to go to the vet and have your cat checked out.
your cat is probably dehydrated just give it some time if it still doesn't eat buy different food. cats are very picky
If your cat starts growling and scratching for no reason, there may be something the cat smells or sense on you that they do not like.
Nope. It means it has a poor diet.ADD:To expand on the first answer: Depending on the age of the cat, then no, it is not normal for cat to lose teeth, except if done by a vet or the cat is teething (adult teeth usually come in when the cat is 4-6 months old).Tooth loss usually means that the cat has something wrong with its mouth or gums. If your cat is losing teeth or its gums look sore or inflamed, take it to the vet immediately.
When a cat bunny starts kicking a kitten, it can cause harm or injury to the kitten. It is important to separate them to prevent any further harm.

A cat could have small front teeth due to still having its baby teeth. Cats lose teeth and regrown their adult teeth just like humans.
Yes. It is, however, unlikely that a cat would have only one tooth; I suspect you are talking about the big teeth, the so-called "canines", of which most cats have two in the upper jaw. These teeth are spaced to assist in rapidly killing rodents like rats and mice. With only one canine, a cat will be hindered somewhat in hunting; but as hunting is so little of a modern domestic cat's life, losing one of them actually poses very little handicap to a domestic cat. If in fact you mean only one tooth, then the answer is still yes, though a cat with only one tooth would have significant trouble chewing anything. Soft, canned cat food would be advised, or dry cat food that comes in small, rounded rather than angular "kibbles", would be required.
A cat usually gets its adult teeth between 4 and 6 months of age.
