By six months of age they should have all their adult teeth. I am unable to tell what you are referring to in the photo as when I enlarge it, it is very grainy. That premolar tooth you have circled is typically smaller than the others. It could be normal or it could be a baby tooth that never came out but honestly, in over 30 years in this industry, I have never seen that in a cat. Even if it is a baby tooth it will not cause him any harm. If you are very worried you should have your vet check it in person. I would not be concerned about it.
