Thread: Does your cat pant?

I have never seen a cat pant after play before, but ours does it after a session running up and down stairs, involved a foil ball and a flick of the finger and she kept bringing it back

Hopefully she'll zonk out now

This is really weird, Harry did yesterday for the first time, it was strange, it was just like watching a dog. He had his mouth wide open and when I picked him up you could hear it. I was going to ask whether this was normal, it was quite scary when he did it.

I have one that tends to pant when put into a different situation,he doesn't seem stressed but just pants while he takes it all in,one of the boys pants easily if he does too much chasing of the laser beam so he gets restricted time with that type of play although he had his vet check & everything seemed ok & the others tear around & nothing at all.
Thats MC's for you....

I know I paranoid about all things MC & Spots & please please please dont all charge off to the vets or loose any sleep but I would be a bit concerned about a cat panting & maybe not encourage to much rushing around. Milo used to pant when he was a kitten & I just thought at the time it was because he was to hot or been tearing around to much but after him going at only 10years old because of his heart I do wonder if it was because he was born with a heart problem

Its probably just the way they get so excited & rush around so much & its getting warmer at last

I've seen our moggies pant when it's really hot, or have been running around alot.
