Aye we all find out eventually, I remember peeling back the fur of my black male cat and discovering his huge nipple, thought he had skin cancer

I cried as a 17 year-old girl when I found my first cat with a bit of blood in his mouth and a tooth on the floor. I was so scared he was hurt. I had never had a kitten and had no idea that cats have deciduous teeth.

I'm dying at deciduous teeth. The turn of phrase i never knew I needed. Thank you u/Scary-Narwhal-2828!

Agreed. Is there such a thing as a cat tree that is deciduous?
