Cats can look quite hilarious and/or quite cute when they stick their tongues out – which is good as they do tend to do it frequently.
Unlike with humans, it is unlikely that your cat is being rude to you when it sticks its tongue out – so why do cats stick their tongues out?
Here are 15 reasons why cats stick their tongues out.
This can of course be accompanied by some drool.
This is due to the shape of your cat’s mouth and the fact that there isn’t much room in there.
This can also happen if a cat is getting treatment for fleas and a bit goes into their mouths.
It refers to the act of leaving the tongue, usually just the tip, outside the mouth unconsciously.
This situation most often occurs after your cat has had a grooming session and ends up with some hairs on its exfoliating little tongue.
