are kitten's supposed to lose their teeth? I was playng with my kitty this morning and he was attacking my fingers through the blanket I was using and he started to chew on it. Well, one of his teeth fell out which I thought was normal but I told my mom about it when she called this afternoon and she said that she doesn't think that they lose their teeth. :suspect

My cats did all the time when they were kittens... if they don't lose them how do they get bigger teeth? I always thought of it like kids losing their teeth.

I'm pretty sure they loose them. I know dogs do, so I don't see why cat wouldn't

Yes they do. It's alway a joyful thing when you wake up in the morning, step down and get a kitten tooth stuck in the bottom of your foot:rolleyes

Totally normal - they have "baby" teeth that will fall out. It is a little disturbing at first, though, especially if you don't expect it to happen.

Young kittens between the ages of 3 weeks old and 8 months old will be teething off and on, and will have very strong needs to bite. Just like baby children, kittens are born without teeth, start getting their first baby teeth at about 3-4 weeks old, then they will lose their baby teeth and have their adult teeth come in up until the age of about 8 months old.
