I expected for my kitten to start losing his teeth around this time but I've found 3 teeth in the last day and a half. He seems to be in normal spirits and I don't notice anything that suggests he's uncomfortable but it seems like a lot of teeth all at once. Any idea if this is normal? I've tried to inspect his gums and they do look a bit pinker than normal but he's feisty and won't let me really get a good look. 

Thanks!

Hello jennifer26,
A kitten will go through teething till around 7 months old where all the adult's teeth are in. I don't know how old he is but he'll go through by chewing on things. Provide him something soft like a towel our soft toys to chew on. While teething, they feel kind of irritated and have an itch to chew things. So it's normal if you find your kitten chewing on things and finding his baby teeth stuck to certain things or on the floor or bed.
It's normal as he is still active. Don't worry. I kept some of my boy's teeth that I found :lol3:

Thanks, TabbyTom! My little baby is 6.5 months old. He's always been a playful kitten so he bites everything - it actually doesn't seem to be any different than his usual self! I just got nervous by finding the teeth all at once - all on the carpet in different spots. Hard to believe he's growing up so fast!!!

You are welcomed. So he'll have a full set of pearly whites. Yes, time flies and they grow up real fast. Spend more time with him and take more photos while he is still young. Once they hit adult age, you can't take baby pictures anymore ;)
