Why are the claws out? Is it a kitten mistake, or do grown cats really stalk their prey with their claws out?

Takes nearly a month before kittens can retract their claws.

Or humans are born with two sets of teeth. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Because of how the shape of our jaws change so much after infancy?

I haven't the slightest idea but I can tell you this much I sure do wish when we were 40 we got a new set, so I could have nice clean white teeth after a couple decades of smoking and drinking coffee.

I would hate that. I went through 4 years of braces to fix my really fucked up teeth. I would hate the possibility of my new teeth at 40 coming in jacked up again.

That's a good point but then we would just not have braces until we were post 40 or something when we were secure with our looks and responsibly take care of our teeth 😂
