I have been keeping an eye on how her adult teeth have been coming in. In the past I have always had luck finding baby teeth and thought well, this time I think she must have swallowed them all because I didn’t find any. Well, my luck changed today. I found one of the back molars this afternoon! I always wanted to brush their teeth, but with multiple cats and when I was working and away often, it just never happened. Now that I am retired I think I can be consistent so I am going to give it a try. I have been massaging her gums as I have been watching her teeth come in, so I am hoping she will be tolerant with the brushing. I plan on using the finger brush style. Wish me luck.

Awww she is so cute! My kitty is growing so fast now too and her new canine teeth has started coming in but her baby teeth is still there. I am hoping it will fall out soon but it's on there and still not shaking.

I got a tooth yay! Her one canine I saw missing yesterday and she must have swallowed it because I can't find it anywhere but today I was able to get the other one! I just pressed a little and it gave in and fell out. I think her new canines are still so small for a cat, it is just barely a bit bigger than her kitten canines. Do some Sphynx cat have small teeth?

Happy for you in finding the tooth..it’s always a fun treasure to get. Funny but I thought the same with Martooni, but wait a couple of weeks you will swear they look bigger than the baby teeth did.

Our cats are about the same age and girls! They do grow up so fast but I have been enjoying this journey from kitten to now, how about you? I didn't think it would be this exciting and fun seeing the changes. She now likes to sit on my shoulders when I do the dishes and has learned to play fetch on her terms lol. I'll continue to keep an eye on her teeth and see if it gets bigger (she's probably sick of me opening her mouth so much lol). She's been pretty good and tolerant about brushing except I haven't done it every day. But now her adult teeth has come out I think I will start doing it every night. I hope Martooni is healing well, sending more hugs. BTW, I originally wanted a calico cat like yours but could not find any in my area and then saw Nabi and fell in love. I will just enjoy watching Martooni grow up!

@babymeow I too am truly enjoying every minute. I enjoyed the others as kittens as well, but now I am retired so I get to fully enjoy every day. I would often be on the road when I was working. I love taking pictures and seeing all the changes. Sounds like Nabi is over beyond measure and worshipped as she should be. Once she heals from her spay, I am going to give brushing teeth a try. I always wanted to with the others but there was no way I could be consistent, now I have no excuse for not trying to give it a go.
