How many teeth does a cat have?

Just like humans, cats have 2 sets of teeth. The first set is called the milk teeth or deciduous teeth and they start to come in when the kitten is about 4 weeks old. They continue to come in until all 26 milk teeth have appeared, usually by 6 weeks. These teeth are non-permanent and they begin to fall out from 11 weeks until 30 weeks. This is a time which is similar to teething in human babies, so the kitten may have sore gums, may do a bit of complaining and may eat less due to pain. During the time when the milk teeth are falling out, new permanent teeth are coming in until all 30 of them have developed and have replaced the milk teeth usually by 8-9 months. A vet visit should be done at this time to make sure all the teeth have come in properly. Occasionally, 1 or more of the milk teeth don't fall out, or extra teeth are present. This can cause gum and tissue problems due to the crowding of teeth in the mouth. Behavioral problems may also occur due to the fact that the cat is in pain. Seek veterinary care if this is the case with your cat.

Depends on the cat I suppose... some cats have been in a few fights and lost a couple of teeth.





Safe to say it is enough to chew up their food. The exact number is inconsequential.





Cheers!
