Why Do Cats Stick Their Tongue Out? - Page 4 of 9

Your Cat May Have a Small Mouth

Believe it or not, there are some breeds of cats that don’t have very much room in their mouths. This is particularly common with flat-faced cat breeds like Persian cats. With this type of cat, it’s a lot more common to find its tongue sticking out. This is because since it has a flatter face than most cats, it has less room in its mouth. Less room in the mouth means less space to fit its entire tongue so you’ll frequently find it with its tongue out.
