My cat licked hot tea. Is his mouth burned? What should I do now?

Question

My cat licked some tea that was still hot and I think he's burnt his to give a little bit. He's still happy and playful but is there anything I should do? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered

If he is drinking water and eating fine, he is likely ok. If he is not eating or wanting to drink, he may have sustained burns in his mouth and in that case, I would have him examined by a veterinarian. However, I'm sure he will be fine. So keep a close eye on him and if you notice any changes, I would then take him in to be seen by a veterinarian. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
