Adult cats have 30 teeth in total. These include 12 incisors (6 on the top and 6 on the bottom), 4 canine teeth (2 on top and 2 on the bottom), 10 premolars (6 on top and 4 on the bottom), and 4 molars (2 on top and 2 on the bottom)

. Kittens, on the other hand, have 26 baby (deciduous) teeth, which consist of 12 incisors, 4 canines, and 10 premolars. Kittens do not have molars until their adult teeth come in

. The full set of adult teeth usually emerges by the time a cat is about 6 months old
