wondering how old my feral cat is

Hi I was just wondering how old my cat is. he is feral and came to me two years ago. I opened my front door and there he was. I gave him a bowl of food and she never left. He has two big I teeth but no teeth in the middle. He is my little special baby.

Have a knowlegable vet check those teeth and he may be able to get close on age. The lack of incisors really means very little in my experience - some cats just don't grow them all, probably because they don't bite with incisors but with molars and canines

Welcome to TCS What a lucky kitty to have found a wonderful person to take him in !!! It is very difficult to tell the age of a cat especially after they are a bit older than two or so. Who knows, but your vet could give you some idea.

Yup. Ask the vet when you get him in for the check-up. He'll need a check-up, of course. If he's old enough, you'll want him fixed and vaccinated...

I think he must have been a lost stray--maybe dumped as a kitten. I thought my cat Tiny was feral at first, too; but he warmed up to me so quickly that I realized that he must have lived with humans at least when he was little. So many people will get "cute" kittens and then dump them when they become not-so-cute. I think I know why Tiny was dumped; he had a habit of biting during play--I guess they let him play with their hands--and it took me forever to teach him that human skin was not a chew toy. Now he still mouths my hands, but he never bites down, and I figure it's a good enough compromise.
