Why does my cat stick its tongue out like a dog? Should I worry?

Question

Hi I was wondering if my cat sticking out his tongue like if he was a dog. He doesn’t do it for long and I only notice him doing it a couple times? Should I be concerned ? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 3 months and 20 days old | 10 lbs

This can be normal for cats. If there’s any excessive drooling or bad breath, have a vet take a look, but I don’t see a reason to be concerned. You might also ask your vet to check Chandler’s bite (how do the teeth line up) at his next checkup, as it’s more common for the tongue to stick out when the teeth are malaligned.
