Poor kitty. If the tooth is loose enough to then a gentle pull may be fine to do, as long as it is well tolerated by Oreo. However the deciduous teeth should fall out on their own as the adult teeth come in and we generally let this process occur naturally with no need of pulling on the teeth manually. Your kitty should then have all adult teeth by 6 months of age. I hope this helps!
