Hi, I just noticed my 9 month kitten has a redling above the teeth on the gums. Is it stomatitis?

When cats have red gums it is possible they have stomatitis or gingivitis. This is an inflammation of the mouth or gums. The redness can be caused by genetics, auto immune disease and viral infections and even parasites like hemobart. I would recommend taking Tesla to the vet to have the mouth examined. This will help determine if Tesla needs any testing or medications for her mouth or possibly in the future
