At what age do adult cat teeth start replacing baby cat teeth? Because IBKFergus has taken to being a feline hole punch on anythign made of carboard - there's kitty tooth marks *everywhere*. Or are IBKFergus and The Yowlet just more psychically linked than I had previously thought (because The Yowlet chews everything too)? Yowie We were told one of our Ferals we took in was over six months because she had her permanent teeth.

I don't know exactly, but Mere is chewing everything, too. She's five months old.

Think of it as a "kitty signature" :) Oh, and Marina, don't forget to sign the inside cover and put your location before you send it along.

I suspected someone had been there before Mere. ;o) Usually I'm very careful with borrowed books, and even try to keep them free of cat hair, but this time I thought other readers might get a kick out of finding stray black and/or grey/blue ones between the pages.

Amigo (RB) was a great "cover biter". I did not have ONE paperback in college that did not have four perfect holes in it. Just one CHOMP. Some had more. But it was funny, mostly he would just bite down and leave a perfect cat mouth imprint. If he did more, he just moved up the edge and bit down again leaving another perfect feline bite impression. Only thing I can ever recall him chewing on! My owners didn't chew on it, but they rubbed up against it, loved on it, read it, and QC slept on it at least once. All bets are off with the other one, I'd had it for some time before mailing it out. Pam S. who probably should be worried right now > My owners didn't chew on it, but they rubbed up against it, loved on it, > read it, and QC slept on it at least once.

She hugged it and rubbed herself all over it. It's waiting on my bedside table for me to finish Murder Most Feline, but Mere keeps pushing it to the floor and then she lies there, hugging it and kissing it.

Betty used to insist on scent marking a used book I got, rubbing her face on it. I don't think she was interested in the subject or the title ("Business in Society"), so I thought that maybe the previous owner also had a cat, and its scent was on the book. Pam's books would be a good test of this theory! This book *must* be good if the kitties all give it their seal of approval maybe one day I might get a look at it.

My cats have to scent mark every book I bring into the house. At least they don't pee on them, the way Pumpkin MIA, Amanda's second kitty, did. I still have books that have been marked by "the Grand Whizzer," that I'd like to get rid of, but can't because they are out of print. Pam S. Watch it Marina. Mere may be chewing over some of the methods described in the book. Pam S. giggling According to my dental notes, permanent kitty teath start coming in at about 3-4 months The permanent incisors come in at 3-4 months and the canines, premolars and molars come in at 5-6 months when I adopted Imp he was 5 month's old and he loved to chew on cardboard too hehehehe Kristi > According to my dental notes, permanent kitty teath start coming in at > about 3-4 months [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Kristi Persia is probably 6 years old and she still chews on cardboard. Seems every time I vacuum she finds a box to chew on and I find cardboard bits all over the place. Thank goodness she never discovered the toilet paper snake!

Tell Persia that the toilet paper snake has a cardboard center. :) >> Persia is probably 6 years old and she still chews on cardboard. >> Seems every time I vacuum she finds a box to chew on and I find >> cardboard bits all over the place.

But she doesn't bite them, just bats them around and bunny kicks them into submission. Jill The thing that Wilson liked chewing on best, and still does occasionally are my draft excluder sausage dogs, and leaving trails of sawdust, I keep sticking sticky tape on them but after a while I have to replace them he's got his own on the veranda but he prefers the ones inside. I never seem to notice when they 'shed' their teeth, all I find are dropped claw sheaths, I think he must leave his baby in embedded in me as he is always biting me,he just came while I was typing this and when I reached down to pat him, all I got for my trouble was all four legs wrapped round my hand and arm, and his teeth digging in, if I lift my arm up he just hangs on and I find myself lifting him as well. just tell them to practice their biting on each other, and I'm smirking because my new baby can't do any biting yet although she tries real hard Hugs Jean.

My long-lost Cassandra (RB) used to love to perforate the edges of photographs. She would nibble on any she found sitting loose, and kept it up until she went to the Bridge at the age of 12.
