Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This appears to be a deciduous (baby) tooth from your kitty-and given her age, it is likely to be nothing else. Cats and dogs shed their baby teeth just like we do as they age! If Tsubaki is still eating and drinking and appears to be non painful, it is very likely that no concern is warranted-it's just your kitty growing up! I hope this helps!
