Why Do Cats Stick Their Tongue Out? - Page 6 of 9

Your Cat Could Be Thirsty or Hot

If it’s a warm day and you notice your cat has its tongue hanging out, you may want to check to see if it has access to fresh clean water. On hot days your cat may appear as though it is panting with its tongue out. In the case of warm weather, this can be a sign of dehydration or heatstroke. Some other signs to look out for include disorientation and vomiting. If your cat displays this behavior get them some water right away and take them to the vet for further examination.
