I may be asking a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway.

If you all remember, I have to kittens that will be 5 months old tomorrow. I noticed that both kittens have both their upper canines, but only one of the kittens has one of the lower canines. I guess I assumed that they would come in symmetrical instead of one by one. They're such chewers!

It is perfectly normal for the teeth to come in sporadically. They should all be in place by the time the kitten is 6 months old.

Yes, they can happen a little at a time. Last vet check my kitty still had 2 to go! I haven't checked to see if he's done yet or not. Hard to see in the little buggers mouth!
