2 Answer(s)

Like humans, cats have two sets of teeth in their lives. There are 26 deciduous teeth, also known as their primary, baby, milk, or kitten teeth, and 30 permanent teeth, also known as their adult teeth.

A cat has a total of 30 teeth when fully grown. These include:

12 incisors (6 on the top and 6 on the bottom)
4 canines (2 on the top and 2 on the bottom, the sharp, prominent fangs)
10 premolars (6 on the top and 4 on the bottom)
4 molars (2 on the top and 2 on the bottom)

Kittens have 26 baby teeth, also known as deciduous teeth, which start to appear around 2-4 weeks of age. These are eventually replaced by the adult teeth, typically by 6 months old.
