Why does the cat keep panting? What should I do if my kitten is panting?

There are two situations:

A cat that keeps panting may be due to respiratory system problems. Of course, cats suffering from respiratory system diseases will not show up immediately. At this time, it is important to send the cat to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment. Of course, to avoid such problems, you must pay attention to the health of your cat and protect its respiratory system during daily maintenance.

Affected by rising temperatures, cats will also pant for a long time in hot weather and after exercise. This is a normal reaction, and parents don’t need to worry too much. Of course, parents should also closely observe the cat’s behavior during this period and be prepared to cool down and prevent heatstroke.

Cat sweat glands are underdeveloped and unlike human sweat glands, they are not actively involved in regulating body temperature. They stick out their tongues, use large mouth breathing and skin radiation to dissipate heat. It's just that cats estimate and plan their actions more fully, and their activities are smaller in summer, so tongue sticking out behavior is less common.
