ALEXANDRIA, Ind. -- This cool cat has traded in his catnip for some bling.

Sebastian, a 1-year-old Persian with long black hair, sports gold crowns on his two bottom canines, which grew sticking out from his lips in an underbite similar to a bulldog's.
His owner, a dentist, said he gave Sebastian gold crowns to help strengthen the fanged feline's teeth. David Steele said he was worried the unique canines would break off or become a problem.
Steele said the cat gets a lot of attention now, and everyone is thrilled when they see him. He said the cost for each gold tooth is about the same as for people, about $900 each. Veterinarian Larry Owen said putting gold crowns on teeth can be done for any pet with a dental problem. Sebastian's procedure only took about 15 minutes.
