Sometimes cats stick out their tongue.
It looks cute and funny. But don't rush to get out your camera.
First, make sure your pet is okay.
After all, there is one situation when a protruding tongue indicates a very serious problem and the presence of danger for a four-legged friend.
However, in the other two cases there is no cause for concern.
If you realize that your cat's tongue has been hanging out for a long time and is not "coming back", then immediately take your pet to a veterinary clinic.
After all, such a situation may indicate that the animal has serious illnesses.
It is possible that the pet was injured.
Or it could be that the cat is having breathing problems.
If a cat's tongue sticks out while it's sleeping, then there's most likely no reason to worry.
This phenomenon most likely only indicates that the sleeping pet’s jaw is relaxed.
Now let's talk about the funniest situation. It's possible that the fluffy one simply forgot to "hide" his tongue after yawning or washing.
In this case, the tongue will return “to its place” after some time.
