Adult Teeth
A cat's teeth are lethal weapons and represent certain death for any unfortunate
prey, when used in conjunction with its whiskers. An adult cat has thirty teeth,
consisting of: four canines, twelve incisors, ten premolars and four molars.
Cats do not chew their food as we do, they chop it up into pieces using their
premolars and swallow it.
The large pin-sharp canine front teeth are used to stab when hunting, defending
or attacking, but cats are capable of exercising great control over them. For
instance, the tom-cat uses his teeth to grab the neck of the female when mating.
And the mother cat uses hers to grasp the neck of her kittens when moving them
around.
Kitten's Teeth
The milk teeth of kittens appear between thirteen and fifteen days. They have
twenty six teeth: the same as the adult cat except with no molars. They are
replaced by permanent teeth between five and seven months. During this period
the kittens gums are very tender and it has trouble eating, that is why food
should be finely chopped.
以上...我懶的翻譯....簡而言之....
就是成貓有30顆牙齒;4顆犬齒(canines),12顆門牙(incisors),
10顆前臼齒(premolars),4顆臼齒(molars)
然後幼貓只有26顆牙齒,跟成貓比就是少了那四顆臼齒啦~
所以我撿到的應該是小胖的10顆前臼齒的其中一顆啦~ 山狀的~
希望接下來還可以撿到其他的牙齒啊...
結論...貓還真多牙齒...我以前都以為貓只有犬齒耶....哈哈
不過貓的臼齒跟人的不一樣...沒有嚼碎食物的功能...只能切成碎片就吞下去了....
