Comment on Since cats don't pant like dogs how do they release trapped heat?

Through their paws for one, and when they lick their coats, the saliva acts like sweat and cools them down as it evaporates. And if it’s really bad, they pant.

Growing up, my family had an old cat. In the years before he died, I remember him panting more and more. I guess he got too tired to clean himself?
