My goodness! You must be so confused!! I consulted my Crystal Ball, threw a
Tarot Spread, and did a 3-hour Google search and found this out for you:

Your cat's teeth need medical attention, take her to the vet.

At around 5 mos. they shed their baby canine teeth.

If that was the tooth that the cat lost then it's quite normal at this age.
If it's not a baby tooth being shed then a trip to the vet is in order.

That's my first thought, baby teeth. If the tooth has no root, it's a baby
tooth and it's normal (and cute!). If the tooth has gum tissue attached to
it or appears to have a root, get the cat to a vet pronto.

I thought the link Wendy put up was great.

Nevertheless, I don't understand why anyone has an animal that has lost a
tooth, an eye, can't walk, etc. and decides to POST TO USENET FIRST.

I would have taken him to the vet just in case.

It is normal. There's no need for a vet visit unless he's never been.
While you're at it, take cybercat to the vet. She's rabid.
