Is your cat sticking out its tongue? Yes, it looks funny and cute.
But don’t rush to get out your smartphone and create a funny video.
First, make sure that your four-legged friend does not need help.
After all, in some cases, a cat’s tongue sticking out indicates very serious problems.
But let's figure out what exactly are the reasons that can make a furry friend start to show unusual behavior.
The cat was simply "dreaming"
Perhaps the four-legged friend was simply lost in thought. It is possible that the pet was staring at something.
In these cases, a protruding tongue is not a dangerous sign.
Relaxation during sleep
A standard phenomenon is also the protruding tongue of a sleeping furry creature.
Most likely, the animal is simply very relaxed. There is nothing wrong with that. Rather, the opposite: the four-legged friend is fully resting and regaining strength.
The cat is hot
The animal may be experiencing discomfort due to the air temperature being too high.
A pet's tongue sticking out helps improve thermoregulation.
In such a situation, try to find a cool place for the cat.
Health problems
A cat may stick out its tongue due to problems with breathing, the cardiovascular system, kidneys, or the oral cavity.
Of course, in any of these cases the cat must be urgently taken to a veterinary clinic.
