Why Do Cats Stick Their Tongue Out? - Page 5 of 9

Your Cat Could Have Dental Issues

Keeping in line with problems of the mouth, your cat could be sticking its tongue out due to other dental issues, such as gingivitis and periodontitis. If your cat has bad breath or is not eating as much as they normally do, it may be suffering from dental problems. The only way to determine this for certain is to have your veterinarian check its mouth. A cat hanging its tongue out can also be a sign the cat is in pain. This can be due to tooth pain or pain in the cat’s gums. Having them checked by a vet can help determine the exact cause.
