Cats/Lost tooth

Question
My cat lost a tooth, one of his lower canines. What do I do? He fights a lot and is an outside/inside cat. He is 8 years old.  

Answer
Hi Samantha,
You can't really do anything about the missing tooth, it's gone for good.  You can, however, have him neutered. It will help with the roaming and fighting. He will probably live longer and be much happier if he were fixed.

God Bless,
Becky

Expertise

I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
