Is this usual?

My little one managed to lose a few teeth (all attached - if that makes sense?)

She was chewing my clean bedsheets when I noticed a little blood and her missing teeth.

She doesn't seem to have any gaps and was still happily chewing my washing (she ate normally after too and was being as naughty as usual)

Just wondered if kittens do actually lose their bubba teeth as I've never heard of it before?

Yes they do.

Yeah, you'll need to put them under her cushion or whatever she sleeps on, then the tooth kitty will come in the night and exchange them for tins of tuna

Yes they do fall out

'Tis good to know!!

Cheers

Apparently it's fairly unusual to find kittens' milk teeth, because they tend to swallow them.

Possibly more information than you really needed, but that's nature for you!

That is indeed the wonder of nature. It happens with all animals and is in order for predators not to be given telltale signs that there are young animals around.

Only man (the idiotic species that believes it is superior) has lost this.

Not entirely. My youngest son has managed to swallow two of his baby teeth. 'Tooth Fairy' still had to cough up though.

I never knew this, nature is certainly far superior to anything we can come up with.

Awww, your little baby is growing up Rainbowgirl

Humans have also lost the ability to only have the offspring they can support and to give birth unaided.

Many have also lost the ability to control their own weight!

All things that other animals do routinely....

If you think of all the things that people need just for a basic existence - gas, electricity etc - compared to other animals, people are really quite pathetic!

She is indeed

And yep she didn't manage to swallow the tooth - bless her! She's probably expecting some treats left by the 'cat tooth fairy' under her blanket

I never noticed when mine lost theirs.

I've got a box in my bedroom with a couple of "baby teeth" in, a couple of tiny claw sheaths, a whisker or two, and first collars .........
