My 6-month-old kitten's baby teeth haven't fallen out. Is it normal?

Question

Hello, my name is alyssa and i took in a baby kitten that 1 of my friends no longer wanted. He is now about 6 or 7 months old. His name is king. Recently i noticed his top amd bottom fangs have double teeth in both. They have been there for a few days that i have noticed. Is this normal? Should i take him in sooner rather than later? Is he in pain? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 6 lbs

Hi, what you are seeing is his adult teeth coming in and his baby teeth haven't fallen out yet. this does not cause pain and is not a medical issue unless he gets to be over 1.5 years and they have not fallen out. The retained baby teeth can get food stuck in them and cause dental disease. I would not worry about it until his is older. Good luck, I hope this helps!
