kitten patting

why do kittens breath with mouth opened

THANKS

My cats do it when it is really hot and they are moving around a lot.
Cats can't really sweat, they have very few sweat glands thus the
panting to cool down. Kind of doggy like. I am sure there is plenty of
other reasons for them to pant also....

I don't think cats breath out their mouths at all unless they are in real
respiratory distress. (or they're outside and have gotten too hot). I think
calling your vet is in order.

Just my personal experience - all my kittens breathed through their
mouths after intense play with much chasing (sprinting and
jumping)...but not for very long. Rather like I breath through my mouth
after I run a lot. It only lasted a minute or two and only happened
after intense play. The behavior ceased as they got older and lazier.


I have also heard that the snub-nosed (i.e. Persian) breeds mouth-
breath, though I don't know that as a fact.

Vet visits never hurt, though. Animals with enlarged hearts or that have
lung problems are often short of breath.
