If a person sticks out his tongue, the reason for this action is obvious: he is playing around or teasing his interlocutor.
It's hard to suspect a cat of something like that.
However, pets can sometimes surprise us by sticking out their tongues.
Why do animals do this?
Muscle relaxation
If you notice that your cat is sticking out its tongue while sleeping, this is a good sign: your pet can completely relax and "fall" asleep next to you.
Only in this case the animal completely relaxes, which is why the tongue sticks out of the mouth. If the pet sleeps restlessly and cautiously, then it does not fully trust you.
Accident
Sometimes a collected cat can get distracted by something while grooming itself. As a result, your pet doesn't even notice that she's sticking out her tongue.
In such cases, it happens completely randomly.
The tongue needs cleaning
The language of humans and cats is very different. You have probably noticed that the pet's is very rough. It is due to this feature that the animal can easily clean its fur.
If something is stuck on the tip of the tongue, the pet is trying to get rid of the discomfort. Experts also believe that such an action helps to "air out" the unpleasant taste.
