Thank you for posting this!! I was so worried when my Maine Coon started panting. I've checked his tongue and gums and they're bright pink - so hoping it's because he runs around quite a bit... I've never had a cat pant before!! His vet check up is next week - and I've already called them about it - they said to keep an eye on him and we'll check it out at the visit. Hoping it's a Maine Coon Thing! :o)
@cmnrsn - My part Maine Coon Noah was about two when I noticed him panting. When I took him to the vet, he said that was not a good sign and diagnosed him with a heart condition called Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. It was found by ultrasound. He was then put on heart medication, and later also baby aspirin for the rest of his life. He lived 13 years but may not have had he not been diagnosed. Hope this isn't the case with your kitty!
Wow! Is he a young cat? They do that when they play very hard and then take a break(mine used to do that) it's common. Or when they are very hot! Was he ok?? If yes than this is cuteness overload!
After watching this it occurred to me that I've never seen a cat pant before. He looks like he would have continued to play if given the chance... so alert! What a great lookin' kitty =o)
my siamese does the same.

@kittyfidelity I figured! My little man(not so little now) was a frantic player and would pant like a maniac!1 I was so scared at first.
