I accidentally broke THREE of my cat's teeth while playing around. The cat seems fine but I feel awful. This is my first cat and I don't know much. It is 4 1/2 months old and I am hoping that the teeth were already loose. Do cats loose baby teeth and/or regrow lost teeth??

Yes, kittens lose their baby teeth at about the age your cat is now. My guess is that they were about to fall out anyway. If you actually ripped out three permanent teeth, your cat would be in a lot of obvious pain! After they lose their baby teeth, they get in their adult teeth.

I agree with what Kitty said.

If your cat isn't acting in pain... it's probably the baby teeth. Kittens do lose baby teeth. Just keep an eye on the little one to make sure there's no pain or problems.
