Cool Facts About Cats' Teeth

Happy National Cat Day! Here are some cool kitty dental facts for you!

1. Cats can only move their jaw up and down (not side to side like human can)

2. Cats’ teeth are built for eating meat. They use their sharp, serrated molars to shear muscle and connective tissue off the bones and cut them up into chunks they can swallow whole. YUM!

3. Cats’ front incisors are mainly used for grooming (e.g. to remove fleas)
