The cat's behavior of 'sticking out its tongue' is not really cute, but a hint to the shit shoveling officer

Some people say: cats are born cute, because the facial expressions of cats, some inadvertent small actions and small actions will be amplified by humans, and then endowed with human emotions and feelings.

In fact, many of the actions of cats are their subconscious or even unconscious behavior.

Example: The cat sticks out its tongue.

Generally speaking, we can often see dogs sticking their tongues, but have you ever seen cats sticking their tongues?

Of the 3 cats I have, 2 cats occasionally stick out their tongues, and the other cat has never seen it stick out.

So, does the shit shoveling officer understand the meaning of the cat sticking its tongue out?

What is the cat suggesting to the shit shovel officer?

First: cats stick their tongues out, which may be a precursor to heat stroke

The biggest difference between cats and dogs is the way they dissipate heat.

Dogs dissipate heat mainly by sticking out their tongues.

When the dog runs for a while when the weather is hot, you will find that the dog will keep sticking out its tongue and gulps of water, which means that the dog has felt the heat.

The way cats dissipate heat is mainly through the contact between the soles of their feet and the ground, and cats do not stick out their tongues to dissipate heat.

Moreover, the cat's skin is not the main way to dissipate heat.

When a cat sticks out its tongue and breathes heavily in hot weather, it means that the cat has heat stroke.

At this time, the shovel officer needs to pay attention to the cat's physical state in time, and turn on the air conditioner to help the cat dissipate heat.

Second: Forgetting to retract the tongue when the "behavior is interrupted"

for example:

When the cat is licking, the cat is suddenly interrupted by something; at this time, the cat's tongue will forget to retract it.

This is the normal reaction that the cat will have when the "action is passively terminated".

There is also a situation where the cat suddenly falls asleep while licking; at this moment, the cat is completely relaxed, and their jaws are also relaxed.

Therefore, the cat's tongue is not retracted.

Third: There is a "foreign body" in the cat's mouth

In an experience going to a pet hospital, I saw a case of a cat with my own eyes.

The cat's mouth was very greedy, and it must have eaten peanuts, which caused the cat's esophagus to get stuck.

The cat then kept retching and tried to spit the thing out on its own; but the Peanut Mika was too deep for the cat to spit out.

Therefore, the cat has always maintained the posture of sticking out its tongue.

In general, if your cat sticks out its tongue only occasionally, this is normal.

However, if the cat has been sticking out its tongue at a certain stage, it is necessary to observe whether the cat has eaten foreign objects in its mouth and esophagus.

Fourth: some pathological causes of cats

About this, I consulted with the local veterinarian.

The veterinarian said: Common oral diseases in cats, such as stomatitis in cats, tooth inflammation, and tooth loss, cause inflammation in the cat's mouth, and the cat cannot close its mouth.

At this point, the tongue will stick out.

In other cases, the cat accidentally ingested something and inhaled mosquito medicine, which caused the cat to fail to adapt for a while.

Generally speaking, there is no problem, but if the cat sticks out its tongue for too long, the shovel officer really needs to pay more attention to the cat.
