Why Do Cats Stick Their Tongue Out?

Our Cat Could Have Gotten a Bad Taste in Its Mouth

If your cat has eaten some food or had a taste of a treat that it wasn’t particularly fond of, it may react by sticking its tongue out. Sometimes this behavior is seen after a cat has tried to nibble on something that it probably shouldn’t have—like your house plant. If a cat doesn’t like the flavor or texture of something that its had a taste of, it will try to stick its tongue out as a way to get rid of the bad flavor. You might also notice this same behavior after giving cats certain types of oral medications.
