Sometimes we buy a cat on a whim. But I often forget to ask my boss how old is, or if I adopt a stray cat. If you want to know how old the cat is, it is actually very simple. Let me introduce to you how to distinguish the age of the cat! The age of a cat can be judged based on the growth of its teeth and hair. The growth and teeth change of cats are very regular. By observing cats' teeth, the age of cats can often be estimated.
Usually, the cat begins to grow breast canine teeth (that is, two canine teeth in the upper and lower jaws) and the small incisor teeth in the upper jaws. By the fifth week, the baby teeth will all grow together.
2-3 months old baby teeth grow and start changing.
From the fifth month after birth, cats start changing teeth. At this time, when you open the cat's mouth, you can often see that the gums on the cat's canine teeth are slightly red, which is a sign of new teeth. In another week or two, you can see that the cat has four canine teeth on its upper jaw or lower jaw, that is, there are two teeth on the same canine teeth, one is slightly thick, and this is the newly grown teeth. As the new teeth grow, the breast canine teeth are slowly loosened and fall off and are spit out by the cat. If you observe carefully, you may pick up the cat's small teeth, and retaining the cat's baby teeth can also be regarded as a memory.
When the cat is four or five months old, the director may lose his appetite during the tooth change stage. At this time, on the one hand, you should pay attention to the growth of the teeth in the cat's mouth, and on the other hand, you should provide it with chewy food to protect new teeth. One year after the kitten is born, the front teeth of the jaw begin to wear, and seven years later, the canine teeth gradually age. In the seventh year, the front teeth of the lower jaw became round; the ten-year-old cat had all the front teeth of the upper jaw. Careful cat owners should prepare different foods for cats by observing the changes in cats’ teeth to benefit the cat’s health. By 6 months, all permanent front teeth will grow in full. One year later, the mandible incisors began to wear, five years later, the canine teeth began to wear, and seven years later, the mandible incisors became round, and more than 10 years later, the maxillary incisors became round.
A cat grows new hair 6 months after birth, indicating adulthood and enters middle age in 6-7 years. At this time, white beard grows on its mouth, and when it reaches old age, white hair grows on its head and back. A friend asked, is there any relationship between body shape and age? Generally speaking, if your weight does not change anymore, you are basically over one year old.
