RE: Teething Kitten
My Kitten Lightning is teething and he is only 4 months old almost 5 months old and he has the runs but he is running around and playing with my other cat, because I never had a kitten that had the runs when they where teething so is it normal for a kitten to have the runs when they are teething?

My kitten is three months old and I think she is teething. She is chewing on everything and doesn't want to eat her dry food at all, she needs to have some wet food in it it. When she eats the dry food she cries a lot and chews it really slow. Is she teething?

My kitten likes those little hamster chew sticks. they are the same consistency of wood (like balsa wood, which may work too but actual wood may be worse for them), but its softer and I think its made of vegetable stuff. I think they make similar things for birds but I don't know what they are made of.

Can teething cause bad breath in kittens?

I have adopted a stray kitten who loves to snuggle on my arm and push her way into my arm pit and gnaw on my t-shirt, like she is looking for mothers nipple. I've given her milk out of a baby bottle and that seems to satisfy her. but she seems to think my shirt is a nipple. What to do? She is 8 weeks old.

RE: Teething Kitten
I have a 4 month old kitten. Her adult teeth are growing in on the tops and bottoms next to her baby teeth. I'm hoping the baby teeth will just fall out sometime in the next few months to avoid having them being pulled.
When she was younger she did bite a lot and the more you use your hands in her face the more she will think you want to play. If you do not use your hands to express yourself to your kitten and you use a firm screeching "ouch" like a cat noise to express pain, kitty will get the message that she is hurting you and will back off. Speak her language and you'll be on the way to good communication!

RE: Teething Kitten
I have noticed that my kitten likes bottle tops (the screw on lids from 20 oz. water bottles more specifically). He bats them arounds for hours but they fit perfectly for him to chew on. They are too big for him to choke but fits his mouth well to chew. It's the ONLY thing I have found that he will chew... besides my electrical cords. Any idea how to stop that?

I found the small puppy toys from Pet Stages have been the best thing for my teething kitten. You can even freeze them for more comfort. My Little Man likes them with a little bit of chicken broth and he leaves everything else alone.

We just adopted a 5-mo kitten who is teething and right now has double canines that make her look like a mean shark.
Our vet recommended corrugated cardboard -- a small box opened at one end is ideal. She chews on the corners of the flaps and leaves other stuff alone.
Just remember to take off any sealing tape, because they can swallow bits of it and it's not good for them.

RE: Teething Kitten
My kitten is 10-11 months old now. I thought we were done with teething, but I just caught her gnawing on the spout of my watering can (it's one of those hard plastic ones) and there was a little blood on it. When she was younger and teething she liked to chew on it.
Could it be that there were one or two baby teeth left that finally fell out? She's acting out a bit, picking on one of the older cats just like she did when she was younger.
Has anyone seen anything like this before?

RE: Teething Kitten
Cats teeth twice in their life. Once when they are 1-2 weeks old they will get their milk teeth then about a week later their first canines. When they are about 4-6 months old their adult teeth will push out their milk teeth and new canines will come in behind their old ones so for a while they will have a double set. Eventually the baby canines will fall out also.

RE: Teething Kitten
We got a 3 month old kitten named Carly from the Humane Society and she keeps on biting me and my family. If I give her a treat she starts biting our furniture!!! I think she only has about 10 teeth and I'm worried because then she might learn that it IS good to bite but its not. So could you please tell me if shes teething or not? Plus, whats good for teething kittens? She purrs and sleeps A LOT. Also, she bites some people when they pet her... she has like 5 new teeth in the front coming in, and I think I can see two already there. So if you could help me that would be SOOOOOO WONDERFUL!!! Thanks!!!!!

It is helping me to read everyone's comments. We have a new kitty - about 7-8 weeks young and she is biting and hissing A LOT. I was just about to make her an outdoor cat a little too early but also LOVE her. I think I need to be patient and remember she is just a kitten - even when she acts like a scary weird thing from a horror movie. I am trying the potato thing tonight for her teething but so far she plays with it like a ball instead of biting it.

RE: Teething Kitten
Hi, I think my kitten is also teething. I was wondering if anyone knows if vomiting accompanies teething as she has been throwing up since yesterday? I don't know if it is this or something more serious as we rescued her a few weeks ago. She has went to the vet but she wasn't vomiting then so he said nothing serious is wrong with her apart from a sprained foot and ear mites.

I would like to know what I can give my kitten to chew on with out the kitten getting hurt. He walks around the house meowing and chewing on anything he can find and he is more loving and needed. He is three months old now.

I found giving my kitten a potato to play with helped. He can gnaw on that, but it's not so hard that it will hurt like wood.

I have a 6 month old kitten and I think he is teething as I find teeth on and around his bed so is this right for him to lose teeth at this age?
Editor's Note: From what I've read, kitten lose their teeth from 4-6 months so it is probably normal.

Kittens tend to start teething around 2 to 4 months old, but I think my 7 week old kitten is teething. I'm going to try the McDonalds straw idea. But when my other cat was a kitten, I had a little rubber ring that came off another cat toy, he would fall asleep chewing on it, and later would fetch it. I can't find it, or another one of the toys it came off. But if any of you can find something similar, it will work wonders for the teething.

My kitten is about 10 weeks now and is biting me a lot more. She chews on toys and stuff but still prefers my hand. Maybe I should get her a nice big piece of meat from the butchers for her to, well er, butcher.

My kitten is four and a half months old and I think he's teething. He chews on EVERYTHING! I was putting away groceries and he was chewing on the edges of a metal can, poor little guy. I wish there was more I could do.

RE: Teething Kitten
My kitten just started teething, she's 3 months old. I can't give her any treats because it causes her to get sick. I've only had a dog before, so I don't know what to do about her teething. What can I do without buying her treats or dog food?

My kitten is in the cute, crazy teething stage, too. She loves to chew on metal for some reason. Any time a wire hanger is left out, she chews on it.
She also chews on the metal bakers rack.
But you just have to keep them entertained with toys and play games with them.
They're just babies... the bites don't hurt that bad.

RE: Teething Kitten
My kittens just started teething, one is three months and the other is four months. I went and bought them the dog teething toys, the ones you wet with water freeze and then give it to them. I have yet to see them play with them since I work but as long as they don't bite my furniture anymore I am good.

I have heard that plastic drinking straws work rather well. My kitten is currently teething and is using my hands and feet, it's starting to hurt. I am going to try the straw suggestion.

RE: Teething Kitten
My kitten is about 10 weeks and she acts insane! I have never had a kitten, only dogs, so I don't really know what's normal and what isn't. She tries to play in the early morning by clawing and biting and we constantly tell her no but there really isn't any getting to her. She now bites A LOT. I tried her toys and ice but i guess she prefers my hands and feet. How do I get her to teethe comfortably without killing me first?

RE: Teething Kitten
when my youngest was teething i had received a package of free dog "greenies" which are shaped like little bones, he chewed on that quite happily, also brought home a long skinny branch (without leaves) and both cats still chew on this ... when it gets too splintery replace it ... also found hard cat treats help as well.
