I don't understand... why doesn't he just have those teeth removed?
It's not like they're at all useful for the cat, sticking out like that.
In fact they must get in the way sometimes.

It's the perfect Halloween picture, though!

That cat is now worth it's weight in gold! Gold, today, is quite high
priced. MLB

Yeah ... this seems more about appearances than about need. "Steele
is always up for something new." I really don't feel that animals are
fashion accessories.

Well, without those 2 teeth, the long persian-tongue will not stay in
his mouth but hang out all the time. With an underbite like this, I
would also tend to extract those teeth. On the other hand, this
underbite is so extreme, that the teeth do not excoriate the lip and
an extraction is not neccessary from a medical point of view.

Purrs to you

(giggles)

Tessie has an overbite and when she concentrates or 'talks' her top
fangs poke down out of her mouth... she looks so cute but I'm not
worried about it because they don't stick out ALL the time. John calls
it her 'vampire kitty' look because they really show up against her
black fur

Also the guy is a dentist, so making the crowns for the cat was no big deal.

Nox does the vampire kitty too, except that she doesn't do it all the
time either. It seems to be a specific sort of expression.

"Look at my fangs. Imagine them piercing your skin. I think you can
take that book off my lap and make room for me to be enthroned there,
don't you?"

Smokey will run around with his mouth open and lips curled back when he
wants to be intimidating.

Well, this cat is loved and pampered very much, and that's the
important thing.

But I'm not buying that this guy crowned those teeth for dental-health
reasons. I think he more just wanted to do it for the appearance
factor. :-)

I do have to admit that the gold teeth look dramatic against his black
fur.

But I still think it must be weird and possibly uncomfortable to have
these two teeth sticking straight out like that, capped or not. But
maybe they don't bother him.
