So I keep forgetting to ask this, but one morning my cat wanted attention so bad that she woke me up and of course I just had to pet her and give in. So she was kneading the sheets and then I noticed something she's never done before, and that was sticking her tounge out, purring, and kneeding at the same time. We had a male un-neutered cat (not my choice, my parents) that did this when I was a child and I've always wondered why they stick their tounge out like that. Is it over excitement?
