Anyone can answer a question here. They do not always get the answer right, though.
well if its one tooth and your cat is a baby that's good because they are growing adult teeth but if its an adult cat u should probably go see a animal dentist
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.
If your cat is between three to seven months old, it is most likely teething. However, adult teeth usually grow in very quickly, and teeth loss is staggered over a few months - a kitten never looses its teeth in one go. If your cat is an adult, it could be the teeth have become loose due to dental issues or disease, which could cause teeth to fall out. Another reason could be your cat has had an injury, but other symptoms would probably be present. As for symptoms, cats are very very good at hiding pain and discomfort. It is probably best to take the cat to the vet to make sure there is no underlying problem that has caused your cat to lose its teeth.
Feline kittens have 26 deciduous teeth, and adult cats have 30 permanent teeth - 12 incisors, 10 premolars, 4 canines, and 4 molars. Most of the teeth in a cat are very small and you can only see them if you look very close. Kittens have baby teeth, which usually appear at 2 to 3 weeks of age and are replaced by permanent teeth around the age of 7 months.
Yes, they do. Kittens develop "milk teeth" shortly after they are born, and these teeth later fall out and are replaced by the cat's adult teeth. It is a curious fact that the kitten's teeth are sharper than the adults'...
A cat usually gets its adult teeth between 4 and 6 months of age.

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.

An adult cat with all its teeth will have 30 teeth, 16 in its upper jaw and 14 in its lower jaw. Many cats have teeth extracted, however, due to tooth decay, and many will lose teeth for other reasons.
I think they have a baby set, followed by their adult set. If they loose those them then no.... My aunt had a cat that had no teeth... So that's what I assume but I'm not 100% sure.
Yes, a cat's loose tooth will typically fall out on its own as part of the natural process of shedding baby teeth and growing adult teeth.
It is unusual for a cat to still have baby teeth at the age of 1 year. At this point, the cat should be seen by a vet. If the food was not changed from kitten to adult food at nine months of age, this could play a factor in the delay of adult teeth replacing baby teeth.
No, they are carnivores and their teeth are very much like a cat's teeth only smaller.
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.
