How to tell the age of a cat’s teeth

1. A newborn kitten opens its eyes in about a week, and the deciduous teeth begin to grow in the third week. All the deciduous teeth grow in in the fifth week, and teeth begin to change in the sixth month. In August, all permanent teeth will appear.

2. When the child is one year old, the front teeth begin to wear. When the child is five years old, the larger teeth begin to age. When the child is seven years old, the teeth are gradually ground into a round shape.

3. When the child is about ten years old, the upper front teeth fall out, and white hair begins to grow on the back, which becomes rough and loses its luster.
