Red is about 6 months old now and his new teeth are coming in. I am curious, it looks like his old "fangs" are still there and his new ones are coming in right next to them. Is this normal? Will the old ones eventually fall out when the new ones are in completely? I assumed that's how it would work so that the cat would never actually be without teeth.

Any tips?

It is Normal Oreo and all my other Cats did the same thing. My Oreo is 6 Months to but she already lost her Fangs. The adult fangs pushed the baby ones out when they came in. Her Adult fangs are in already.

One of the cats at the shelter--a 2 year old tuxy cat--has two fangs on one side. But his teeth are clean and his mouth smells good, so we don't worry.
