cat teeth

Predator's sharp points

Cat teeth are the teeth of a domestic cat, or teeth resembling them—small, sharp, and pointed.

The term appears in descriptions of feline dental anatomy and in comparisons: The serrated blade had cat teeth along its edge.

Cats have fewer teeth than dogs or humans, with prominent canines designed for gripping prey.
