Look at the little teefers 😫

[u/Mikaela01a → u/Mikaela01a]

Got that good old open mouth sniff

[u/SunnyShoretide]

Snickers isn’t, however she does have runny eyes, which I think is because of allergies. That’s awkward because she came to me from the wild!

[u/SunnyShoretide → u/SunnyShoretide]

r/teefies btw!

[u/IllustratorMurky2725]

Nope but still have “ moments”

[u/anomarlly → u/IllustratorMurky2725]

My boy also cosplays as Jabba the Hutt

I call it his questioning his life choices mode here lol

[u/BeyondTheBees]

Hey OP I saw that you said your vet said nothing was wrong, and I know I’m just some lady on the internet but I strongly encourage you to get a second opinion. Our boy open mouth breathed like this and it was unfortunately a sign of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

[u/Foreign-Speed-3767 → u/BeyondTheBees]

Okay! I'll take your advice. I don't want Anthony to be wrong with my boy

[u/BeyondTheBees → u/Foreign-Speed-3767]

Sorry to scare you. I just really want our boy’s story to help other people’s cats so anytime there’s a symptom of a possible heart issue I’m always in the comments recommending people check it out.

Hopefully he is just a weirdo!! 🥴

[u/Reason_Training]

Only when his nose is blocked by a cold or allergies.

[u/No_Tamanegi → u/Reason_Training]

Could also be the flehmen response, which is when a cat will open their mouth slightly when experiencing an interesting smell. This allows them to smell whatever it is even better and get more information about it.

It looks kinda like they're making a stink face when they're doing it.

[u/Soggy_Waffle303 → u/No_Tamanegi]

I’ve always wondered why my cat does this. 😭

[u/DonutWhole9717 → u/Soggy_Waffle303]

It's similar to a person keeping their mouth open while sniffing a whisky for taste testing

[u/Substantial-Tone-576]

Only when excited purring.

[u/longlostwitchy]

No, but my kids are 😆

[u/xmakina]

Have you had a vet check them over? Cats shouldn't be doing this

[u/Foreign-Speed-3767 → u/xmakina]

I have and he's perfectly healthy

[u/Steffilarueses]

One of my tux guys is a former stray with chronic respiratory issues/FIV (yes his heart has also been fully imaged and checked out - vets have confirmed it’s all upper respiratory). He’s a mouth breather and an INSANELY loud snorer - but a very happy sweet boy.

[u/kypopskull7]

I love it.

[u/hannahpm]

tiny teef

[u/Mystery_Girl_2010]

Ugh I love those tiny baby corn teeth 😭😭😭

[u/-HealerLeona-]

At the vet right now with a sick kitty and vet told us cats are not mouth breathers unless something is wrong.

[u/iibqlistic]

Yes

[u/ironhorseblues]

Nope but my tuxedo kitty gently snores quite a bit.🥹🥹

[u/teckrokk]

Of course it’s a Tuxie 😂

[u/Ok-Strawberry-9254]

Yeah, also one has allergies all the time got the name Snot Rocket.

[u/NerdiChar]

My boy Bruce randomly sits with his mouth open and sometimes will meow then not fully shut his mouth. He's such a goober.

[u/little-birdie2022]

When our Amos gets to rockin a hard purr, he mouth breathes

[u/ScarletRainCove]

Have you tried staring back at them with the same face?

[u/WanderingBombardier]

…sort of

[u/teams3shh]

Mine does this sometimes and it cracks me up

[u/Lady_Asshat]

Mine snore but I think that’s different. Yours is so cute! 😻😻😻

[u/LabCat62]

My tux snore, she had hay fever pretty bad. We used to joke that she was allergic to her own fur.

I did have a calico that mouth-breathed / panted when she was going to the vet, never any other time.

[u/littlepeanut94]

Lmao sometimes he is. He loves to hang his mouth open especuu it ally when he’s super happy/cuddly

[u/Jlx_27]

Purrmanent Sugar high r/Powdereddonutlips

[u/moonvar]

On the positive, he’s got very straight teeth

[u/Witty_Bug6200]

I have a family of rescues that had bad respitory infections when I took them in ($6k) in vet bills, one died, four lived. They all have scar tissue in their shoots. Some more than others make odd noises and mouth breath, but they're all happy, healthy, and well-fed indoor babies now.

[u/britneyxo]

Mine does because he has an open bite

[u/shit_streak]

[u/effervescentechelon]

[u/999-adam-666]

Yes
