Cats are toothless at birth. '''Deciduous''' teeth are complete and functional within 2 months of birth. '''Permanent''' teeth are complete and functional by the end of the 5th or 6th month.


The formula for '''deciduous''' teeth: 2 (I3/3 C1/1 P3/2)

The formula for '''permanent''' teeth: 2 (I3/3 C1/1 P3/2 M1/1)

Sometimes a cat's lower '''incisor''' teeth are shed in middle age.

===Molars===

A decrease in the number of '''molars''' leaves the cat with a shearing bite, rather than wider cusps for grinding.
