what is the latest a cat could loose one or two of those tiny front teeth?
I noticed the other day that Luxor is missing one on his top jaw and one on his bottom jaw. Of course I freaked out and pinned him down and pried his jaw open for another look. His gums look great, his teeth are great and the spaces where his teeth are missing are just gums. not like a broken tooth or a hole.
I'm concerned but thought I would ask you all if this sounds like normal, semi-normal or completely abnormal - in which case he'll go to the vet ASAP.
Luxor does like to eat things that are not food, but I wouldn't have thought that it would have broken teeth. He does like to pull on things with his teeth too, but I would have though his teeth would have been stronger than that. Maybe it happened a long time ago and I'm just noticing, but I'm pretty sure I noticed quickly. I search them up and down all the time trying to find stuff wrong with them...
