Darrell found this on the floor and it looks so much like a tooth that we grabbed all the cats immediately and started inspecting for missing teeth - to no avail.

What do you think it is??

and front;


It looks really big but it's quite small...

yeah that's what we thought too but none of their teeth are missing! Perhaps it's an old one... you don't think it would be a claw eh? Tigger lost two claws with her escursion to the outside world but I didn't think it's a claw... They are growing back by the way.

I'm no feline dentist, but that's a tooth. It has probably been kicking around for long enough that the new tooth has grown in. I always kind of wondered about the whole idea of kittens loosing their baby teeth. Because I have never found one, nor seen any missing! But now you have found proof! It's not a myth after all

When Tarka and Luca were kittens and I had just introduced Luca to Tarka, Tarka bit Luca and her tooth fell out! It was quite disconcerting. But that is exactly what it looked like.

When my two were kittens, I used to find little teeth and what looked like hollow claws occasionally. As long as none of them are bleeding and you can't see any missing teeth, it's probably a baby tooth that's been around awhile.
