Baby Helen: A Quadruple Upper Canine Yawn!, originally uploaded by pmarkham.

I hadn’t even noticed this until I had her at the veterinarian today for her final round of her kitten vaccines. Look at her upper canine teeth. Did you notice that she has four of them? Two on each side. It looks like her baby canines haven’t fallen out yet, but she now has her adult ones too. That’s weird! The vet checked them and they aren’t loose yet, but aren’t causing any bite problems either. We’ll leave them alone and if she doesn’t lose them by the time she goes to get spayed, we’ll have them removed then.

So now she is even more unique. How many cats have you met that have six canine teeth?
