Il tuo gatto tira fuori la lingua? Non sta giocando.

Why does your cat stick out its tongue? It's not stupidity and it's not a game. In this video, Murka, YouTube's most sarcastic calico cat, explains the real scientific reasons behind this behavior. You will discover how Jacobson's organ works, that sensor hidden in the palate that allows cats to read pheromones in the air. You'll understand why your cat sleeps with his tongue out (spoiler: it's a sign of trust, not stupidity). And most importantly, you'll learn when tongue out is a warning sign that requires a visit to the vet. If you have a cat that "bleps," this video will change the way you look at it. Write your cat's name in the comments! Murka wants to know.
