Are cat's supposed to lose their teeth?

I found a tooth sitting on my fllor, and my cat is not a kitten. . . is it normal?

Are cat's supposed to lose their teeth?
I noticed that a lot of answers said that cats lose their baby teeth. Yes, they do - but this process should be complete by the time they are about 6 months old. It doesnt sound like that is your problem.


I would say to see a vet for a professional opinion.





I have also read that you have to brush your cat's teeth - to keep them healthy. That dry food and special treats will not do the trick.
Reply:it's normal. just switch to canned food and make sure to take a fork and make it really really diced/mushy so the cat can lap up the food.
Reply:Yeas from baby teeth to old age just like a human
Reply:You should take your cat to a vet. It's not normal for teeth to just fall out. Unless of course your cat is really old. My cat has a genetic disease that causes his teeth to get wholes and makes eating painful. This has nothing to do with keep the cat's teeth clean. You really should get your cat checked out.
Reply:My cat lost a tooth when she was one or two years old. The vet said they have baby teeth like us.
Reply:OH YES.. Cats lose their teeth.. just like humans.. they have baby teeth that come out and are replaced by permanent teeth.
Reply:Well I know a lady that fed her cat canned food all it's life and it's teeth got brown and they all fell out she said so what you can do is mix dry food with canned food and keep adding more dry food and less canned food until it's all dry food! and also another thing about canned food my cat he ate fancy feast for Thanksgiving and his bottom lip like blew up but he's ok know but isn't that horrible??!!!!
