We may have run into another problem with Quinn..

I'm not really sure about how cats' teeth work. Do they lose their baby teeth and get new permanant teeth? Because Quinn (who is roughly 5 and a half months old) has lost 2 in the past couple of days. Roger was cleaning out his food dish, and discovered one in there. Then tonight when we were giving him his medicine, one fell out right onto my arm.

Is this normal? I sure hope so. I think the poor thing has enough on his plate right now..

Dear Jessica,
I have seen this happen as a rule of thumb to all kitties at that age...I'm sure this has nothing to do with his condition...I'm sure it's because he's getting his big kitty teeth.
Always,

Yup, they loose thier baby teeth alright. Most of us dont see it because they get swallowed or lost. I have had the pleasure of stepping on them..lol
