I have just replied to another poster whose kitten is teething - you find find it helpful to get something like these
Petstages Three Ring Play Catnip Toy - £2.50 : Pinky Pawz - Simply ... the cats whiskers!, Pinky Pawz - Simply ... the cats whiskers!
Freeze them for an hour or so and then give them to the kitten - may help soothe their gums.
