cats and dogs have deciduous teeh(baby teeth) that they lose just like humans. This happens at about 3-6 months of age. So if your cat is young then this is probably what is happening, if your cat is older then it sounds like your cat needs to have a dental. Having lose teeth in an older cat usually indicates dental disease

Well, you didn't give an age, but if the cat is older than a year, he probably has gum disease and should see a vet for treatment. Cats can get periodontis which can cause the teeth to rot and gums to bleed.

How old is your cat?
If he is young, yes, it's just baby teeth. If he is older and already has lost his, it could be peridental disease (I believe it's spelt similar to that), which is basically like gingvitis. It's best to start by brushing his teeth before it progresses, and get consulted by his vet.

yes kittens lose there teeth, mostly they swallow them though. If bleeding though it may be result of injury.
