The sharp fangs in an animal's mouth are all called canine teeth. The names of the teeth are incisors for cutting and snipping, canines for ripping and puncturing, premolars and molars for grinding and crushing. Felines and humans both have canine teeth. It would be too confusing to call them feline teeth in a cat and homo teeth in a human, so we call them all the name we first thought of by studying dogs - canine.
