My 5-month-old kitten hasn't lost teeth. Should I be worried?

Question

Hello! What age do cats lose teeth? I read that it could be 4 months and my cat is about 5 and I haven't noticed this happening yet.. should I be worried about that? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 7 lbs

Hello! No, I wouldn't be worried - there is normal variation between individuals, and honestly I suspect Moose has probably started to lose teeth - they usually swallow them so you probably won't find those teeth when they do come out! Of course, if you're worried a vet could easily take a look and let you know if they're seeing his adult teeth coming in....but I expect he's doing just fine. :-) Hope this helps.
