This is our kitten Ammo. When he gets excited he pants with his tongue out like a dog. Does anyone else's cat do this?
That's exactly what I was going to say. It looks like it might be a lack of oxygen.Originally Posted by StarryEyedTiGeR
Just to err on the side of caution, I would really recommend you have your vet check your kitty's heart/lungs and make sure nothing is going on; he shouldn't be panting excessively like that. If everything checks out fine with the vet, then your mind will be at ease.
I agree, it looks like he was playing hard for a while before the video was taken. Harley used to pant like that after chasing a laser light or toy when he was about that age. I'm guessing still under 2 years? But I would still bring that up at his next vet appt. If he's panting when he's not playing there is most likely a problem.Originally Posted by ut0pia
Well from the video it looks like the kitty is playing with a laser toy. Jake always pants after chasing that laser like a lunatic, lol...
It's normal after really intense play.
Otherwise, it needs to be checked by a vet.
