Cat Teeth
Mine teeth are designed to stab, slice and tear at raw, tough and 'chewy' food rather than chew it, and these actions help keep the teeth in good condition. Kittens shed their baby (milk) teeth as their permanent ones come through at around six months. When kittens are born, the teeth are just visible inside the gums, and soon erupt. At six weeks old, a kitten's teeth are strong and needle-sharp so, for obvious reasons, a mother cat will become reluctant to feed her babies, and a natural weaning process takes place, with the youngsters, ideally, having strips of raw meat to chew on.

Milk Teeth

It may be necessary in such cases for a vet to remove the problem milk teeth so that they do not interfere with secondary tooth growth and action, which could ultimately lead to digestive and other health problems.
