It's not like they're at all useful for the cat, sticking out like that. In fact they must get in the way sometimes. It's the perfect Halloween picture, though!

Yeah ... this seems more about appearances than about need. "Steele is always up for something new." I really don't feel that animals are fashion accessories.

Well, without those 2 teeth, the long persian-tongue will not stay in his mouth but hang out all the time. With an underbite like this, I would also tend to extract those teeth. On the other hand, this underbite is so extreme, that the teeth do not excoriate the lip and an extraction is not neccessary from a medical point of view.

(giggles) Tessie has an overbite and when she concentrates or 'talks' her top fangs poke down out of her mouth... she looks so cute but I'm not worried about it because they don't stick out ALL the time. John calls it her 'vampire kitty' look because they really show up against her black fur :) > Tessie has an overbite and when she concentrates or 'talks' her top > fangs poke down out of her mouth... she looks so cute but I'm not > worried about it because they don't stick out ALL the time. John calls > it her 'vampire kitty' look because they really show up against her > black fur :) Nox does the vampire kitty too, except that she doesn't do it all the time either. It seems to be a specific sort of expression. "Look at my fangs. Imagine them piercing your skin. I think you can take that book off my lap and make room for me to be enthroned there, don't you?" Smokey will run around with his mouth open and lips curled back when he wants to be intimidating. --Fil > http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/object/article?f=/news/archive/2006/08/16/national /a175640D43.DTL&o=0 > > Hmmm. Well, this cat is loved and pampered very much, and that's the important thing. But I'm not buying that this guy crowned those teeth for dental-health reasons. I think he more just wanted to do it for the appearance factor. :-) Sherry > Well, this cat is loved and pampered very much, and that's the > important thing. > But I'm not buying that this guy crowned those teeth for dental-health > reasons.

But I still think it must be weird and possibly uncomfortable to have these two teeth sticking straight out like that, capped or not. But maybe they don't bother him. Joyce > > Well, this cat is loved and pampered very much, and that's the > > important thing. [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Joyce I wonder, too. Since he was born that way, I'd guess they don't bother him. But they can't be functional, either. That's why I think the owner capped them just to look cool. I bet a regular vet would recommend removal. They *do* look pretty snazzy. Gold and black are so dramatic together.

Gold and black are so dramatic together. I wonder three. AIUI, it's hard for Persians to get at their food with their pushed-in faces. Maybe the teeth can actually help? Act like a sort of shovel? Maybe this is wishful thinking, they *look* so uncomfortable. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

So I think the kitty would end up shoveling the food into his nose. Joyce |
