A cat has a total of 30 teeth when fully grown. These include:

  • 12 incisors (6 on the top and 6 on the bottom)
  • 4 canines (2 on the top and 2 on the bottom, the sharp, prominent fangs)
  • 10 premolars (6 on the top and 4 on the bottom)
  • 4 molars (2 on the top and 2 on the bottom)

Kittens have 26 baby teeth, also known as deciduous teeth, which start to appear around 2-4 weeks of age. These are eventually replaced by the adult teeth, typically by 6 months old.
