The Teething Process

Since I brush my kitten's teeth regularly, I have been watching as certain teeth in her mouth are lost and replaced. I just wanted to know when do the different teeth usually come in. Do cats have just one set of deciduous teeth or are some replaced again at some point?

I mainly want to know because I can see her top canines coming in now. She has one of her bottom ones coming in where the bottom one has already been lost. On her top teeth the original canines grew in at a weird angle. The new ones seem to be growing next to the old ones at this point, which seems pretty weird.

The old/baby teeth will fall out eventually, don't worry about that.  The 2nd set will be it for life, so keep brushing.

Do the new teeth grow as she gets older? Even the new ones seem so tiny compared to my male cats huge teeth.

It's a process.  The canines are the first to come in at around 6 months.  Your kitten is approx half his/her weight now.  I assume the other teeth will come in as there is more room in the mouth.

Interesting. She has her canines coming in now at five months old. She lost one of the small ones in the front as well and it is starting to grow back. I just assumed that she would loose teeth way sooner than this since she has been chewing on things constantly since she was about four months old.
