My cat's front teeth are a bit long?

He eats well, keeps his fur in good condition and is a happy cat, but they do poke out rather a bit over his lips. It's mainly his 2 canine teeth at the top, but the bottom ones also seem long. He's only a kitten, so might grow out of it. Would you take him to the vets?

He probably just has a little bit of an overbite..no big deal.

Reply:take him to the vet for a check up, and then inconspicuously ask about it, lol.
Reply:you have a sabertooth alleycat lol
Reply:you can take it to the vet and get the teeth trimmed
Reply:My cat had a snaggle tooth-it stuck out over his bottom lip. It never caused him any problem. Your cat will probably grow into his teeth, but if not, I wouldn't schedule a vet visit unless it looks like it's causing him pain or preventing him from eating.
Reply:As long as he's healthy, he'll probably grow into them. Why not wait a few months and then, when he's bigger, take him to the vet.
Reply:Not at all. If his teeth are longer, that just means that he will always win cat fights
Reply:I think he'll grow out of it but just to be sure take him to the vet
Reply:He'll be fine. You see lots of young teenagers with oversize teeth so I reckon he'll grow in to them.
Reply:You should take him to the vet, maybe for a check up or something. But I don't think it is a big problem, still take him to the vet though.
Reply:I dont think taking him to the veterans administration would help.





You could consider the 187th Infantry Division stationed in Iraq - I've heard they have rescued many cats.
Reply:you need to get this sorted as if they don't join they wont get any smaller ! the vet will be able to just grind them down , better do it now than when you need to as hes having problems .
Reply:hi there, i really think that for your own peace of mind, call your vet for advice or pop him along for a check up thats the ONLY way you will really know for sure isn't it? that way the guessing games are over and you can relax. so i wish you luck, nice to see that you really care about your little cat. bye .
Reply:it does not matter how long they are really
Reply:I would wait and see. Kittens lose their baby teeth and grow adult ones; his next set may be normal.


There was a really friendly cat that used to hang around our house who had what we called saber-teeth and he had no problems with them. It was actually rather cute. As long as your kitten has no issues, there is no need to bother with expensive procedures.
Reply:My little catty is exactly the same. If it isn't hurting his gums then leave him be. My cat is 2 now and it has never caused a problem. It just make them look extra cutie ;)
Reply:You could go to the vet, but I think its more logical just to wait; he will probably grow enormous and they wont look so big then. I have one who looks like Draculas big brother (and he is black!!) and he eats everything he can find, so it doesnt seem to harm them.
