Cat Teeth

Dec 15, 2020
1 min read

Pico was sleeping and I was looking at his teeth and noticed a very tiny tooth behind his canine teeth:

He is just now 9 months old and I wondered if it was a new tooth coming in - so I decided to look it up. And it is a normal size adult tooth called a premolar.


Cats have two sets of teeth during their lifetime. Their first set is called "milk teeth". These come in when kitten is about four weeks old and by six weeks they have the full set of 26 teeth. At about six months of age, these milk teeth will begin to fall out and be replaced by 30 permanent teeth.


Only about 10% of cats will go their whole lives without experiencing dental problems. It is a good idea to brush your cat's teeth to help prevent the build-up of tartar.


If you notice, the cat's molars are not flat and wide like ours. That's because a cat's teeth are designed for ripping meat; they don't do much chewing.

There is something approachable about discussing encouraging collaboration across school subjects through situations people can actually picture. A shared question can give several classroom subjects a common purpose. That is the kind of detail I would keep in mind while exploring interdisciplinary school learning. I do not have a settled view yet, but this seems like a good place to slow down and look more closely. How can students see the connection between the different parts of a project?

Bài về răng mèo khiến tôi nhận ra những chi tiết rất quen thuộc ở thú cưng thường bị bỏ qua. Răng không chỉ liên quan đến việc ăn, mà còn phản ánh tuổi, thói quen và tình trạng sức khỏe của con vật. Tôi thích kiểu bài giải thích một chủ đề nhỏ nhưng mở ra nhiều câu hỏi đời thường như vậy. Đọc đến đoạn nói về việc quan sát dấu hiệu bất thường, tôi nhớ những lúc ngồi chờ bạn bè chơi game bài đổi thưởng và nghe họ nhắc ABC8, dù tôi chỉ nghe qua chứ chưa tham gia. Sau bài này, tôi thấy mình sẽ để ý hơn đến những thay đổi nhỏ ở con…

A conversation about making music practice meaningful in Legnica seems most useful to me when it leaves space for uncertainty and further questions. A short phrase practised attentively can be more useful than playing an entire piece without a focus. It also gives the phrase Legnica music education a clearer meaning than a label on its own. A short discussion of an everyday example would make this easier for me to connect with, especially as someone still learning about the subject. How do learners decide which part of a piece needs their attention first?

What draws my attention to creating inclusive learning activities in Komorniki is the possibility of making an unfamiliar subject feel closer to everyday life. Offering several ways to participate can help an activity reach pupils with different needs. It makes me curious about the practical side of Komorniki inclusive education. I would be interested in a simple example, because it is often the ordinary details that make an idea memorable. How can teachers adapt a task while keeping its purpose clear?

The subject of coordinating learning across a school complex feels more interesting when there is room for a reader to stop and ask their own questions. Clear information can help families understand how different stages of education connect. I would keep that thought nearby when looking for ideas about school learning pathways. I do not have a settled view yet, but this seems like a good place to slow down and look more closely. What makes a transition between school stages easier to prepare for?
