Your cat isn't ugly at all!! I like her colors because it makes her very unique! I think she's very beautiful! Now why she has her tongue out is a good question however you'll have to ask her. lol I don't think you'll get an answer though. As long as she's not panting and is eating and drinking fresh water then I wouldn't be worried about it one bit.

Hi catsanddogs, First let me tell you that i like your name so much. It is equal to happiness ( catsanddogs). Thank you about good words about Pitir. Mostly my friends think she is ugly but i never agree with them and about the colors she have. Her one arm and leg are yellow and others are black. Funny huh? Thanks for answer :) Have a great day

From what I can see she loks like a tortas shell cat. We had one and she often had her tongue sticking out like you's does. It may be something about that type of cat. Bab llived to almost 17 years.

Hi deebomb, After your post i checked about this tortoiseshell cats. And i guess yes my cat is tortoiseshell cat. Actually I found it on a very busy street where kids were playing her like a ball. After attacking some of these kids finally i rescued her so for me till today she was a stray cat. But now she has a class too :) thanks for this information . Thats why i love mylot too much. You can new stuff in a second . And here is another thing i just learned about tortoiseshell cats .Cats of this coloration are believed to bring good luck in the folklore of many cultures.I have a beautiful cat who will bring me luck . Have a great day.

To be honest in the attatched photo the angle makes her a tad ugly. But I love her coloring scheme. It's a beautiful cat. Can you add a different picture that shows all of her? I'd love to see her. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I don't think she's ugly, she's got big yellow eyes and I like that! I don't know about the tongue thing either. My friend has a dog who always has her tongue out too. I think it's cute.

Hi Nicolec i think it is cute too. I knew that dogs take their tongues out for stabilize their body temperature but this stuff iss not common between cats i guess , yes sometimes they forget their tongues out but my cat's is out almost 24 hours a day. Heheheh. Thank you very much for your answer and have a great day

she's a beauty, love the pink right up the middle of her sweet little nose! I've got a few that leave their tongues hanging out, Oliver does it a lot. Its just a habit, but also a sign that she's confident & happy.

LOL! I got pretty fast & could catch my mom's cat's tongue, but she did leave it far out! I've brushed Oliver's but he's not as much fun to tease as grouchy Suky!

Hi ElicBxn, yes her nose is very cute :) They look more cute when their tongue is out right ? I sometimes try to touch this small tongue but she is faster than i am to put it in back. Thank you for your answer. have a great day.:)

I would like to say noooo your cat is not ugly, and like babies they are all cute. However we know this is not true. BUT in your case dont worry your cat is cute. Its nifty to see the individual traits each cat develops!

Hi wirelessb, Thank you so much about good thoughts for my cat. I knew she was beautiful but people are just comparing her with my other cats and name her a ugly cat . It is great to see that much support :) Thank you and have a great day

Why would anyone call your cat ugly? I think she is cute. I like her colors. And the whole tongue thing, is super cute! My cat use to do that when she was excited. I don't know about your cat, but maybe she is excited. What kind of things is she doing when her tongue is out? Or maybe her tongue is just a little long? Either way, she is fine and she is really cute.

Hi Foxxee, I don't know why but sometimes people can be very bitter and call my cat ugly :) I guess my cats tongue is a little big for her mouth because it is always out. Sometimes even worse and almost half of her mouth is out. I guess she doesn't know that tongues are organs should keep in mouths :) Thanks for your answer and have a great day.
