Cats start out with 26 deciduous teeth. By six months of age, these baby teeth fall out and are replaced by permanent teeth, 30 in the cat. Cats have 30 teeth (12 incisors, 10 premolars, 4 canines, and 4 molars), while dogs have 42. Kittens have baby teeth, which are replaced by permanent teeth around the age of 7 months. Feline kittens have 26 deciduous teeth, and adult cats have 30 permanent teeth. Most of the teeth in a cat are very small and you can only see them if you look very close. Permanent dentition: 2(I 3/3 C 1/1 P 3/2 M 1/1) = 2(8/7) = 2(15) = 30 teeth.
Adult cats are equipped with 30 teeth with which to finely chop up their meals. The little guys are major carnivores to the core. Felines all have four molar, 10 premolar, four canine and 12 incisor teeth. Although cats have close to as many teeth as their human companions, the function is pretty different.
