Do cats lose their baby teeth like humans do?

Yes, they do... Kittens are born with no teeth. The nutrition they receive from the mother can affect oral development.


Cats, like people, have baby teeth then permanent teeth. The baby teeth will begin to erupt at about 3 weeks of age. Eruption times for the permanent teeth are influenced by breed, environment, nutrition, hormones, and season.A full set of baby teeth should be present in kittens by 6 weeks of age.


The permanent tooth bud will already be formed deep in the gum. This is also the ideal time to train a kitten to accept oral handling. By about 7 months of age, the permanent teeth are fully present.
