I don't know what lead me to this, but I'm so bored and watching it anyway.

Nice video, thank you

It would have been helpful to have high quality photographs of the mouth as well.

my cat has a healthy mouth, but is it normal for him to have 6 canine teeth?

[zombieravens]

@Leopardfur101986 I'm pretty sure your cat won't have 6 canine teeth. Canines are the long pointy teeth. There are four of these in total, 2 top, 2 bottom.

Cats do have 6 incisors at the top and 6 at the botttom, 12 in total.

search cats in google and look at the first image that appears

[monas]

Nice video Please see my new video of my cat thanks people. The video is called "My cat"

[subbie241]

These videos should come out in HD, so the view of the cats mouth is very clear for educational purposes. (and no I don't have a sick fetish with animal's mouths)

[ladamadelcaribe]

What Happens if the Gums are all black exept the Toung and Under It Because My cat Has that but the color of his Fur is grey brown and black so can any 1 help me?

[BubblyBoom3000]

aww i wish my cat would let me open her mouth like that, such a well behaved kitty Stripes is :) i also think i should try brudh my cats teeth because i can see tartar forming :S

[SchrodingerHatedCats]

I'm a certified veterinary dental tech. "Cavities" due to tartar and decay (dental caries) are rare in cats. More likely, those "cavities" and missing teeth are due to feline resorptive lesions, a whole other (and painful) condition. There are probably root fragments beneath the gums where those teeth have eroded. X rays, if not done already, would easily distinguish a carious condition from resorption. This is a common error even with experienced vets. Google FORL for more information.
