Meet the cats with curly fur: These breeds will surprise you
Curly-haired cats are harder to find, but you do have a few options
A Cornish Rex lies on a bed

Those of us with curly-haired cats adore their wavy locks. They're fun to pet, and they look cute as can be, too. However, this strange gene only occurs in a few breeds, meaning they're rare, and acquiring one can be difficult and expensive. Many cats with curly hair fall under the "rex" designation and can set you back upward of $1,000 or even more. If your heart is set on a pet with little ringlets, you'll likely bring home one of these precious breeds.
What to know before getting a cat with curly hair?

You should never bring home an animal based on appearance, but we can't deny that their kinked hair gives cats with curly fur a distinct look. One interesting thing to note is that many of these kitties shed less and don't require substantial grooming — certainly a bonus for a pet owner.

Why do cats stick out their tongues? Surprising reasons explained
Health concerns to harmless changes: Reasons cats stick out their tongues
Side view of a cat sticking out its tongue

If you've ever wondered, "Why do cats stick out their tongues?" you're not alone. Whether you've noticed your cat doing it and wondered whether your cat is sick, or you've simply seen a cute TikTok, try not to worry. Most cats occasionally "blep" or stick their tongues out, and it's rarely a cause for concern. In fact, it's downright adorable! (Search for 'cat bleps' online when you're feeling down; the precious images are the perfect pick-me-up.)
What causes cats to blep? We'll explore a few potential reasons behind this strange yet adorable behavior.
Why do cats stick out their tongues? Here are a few reasons

As odd as this behavior may look, you'll be glad to know that you rarely need to worry about a cat sticking out their tongue.
Your cat is exploring the world with their tongue
One of the most common reasons for an exposed tongue is rather simple: your cat is literally exploring their surroundings. When your cat leaves their mouth open and tongue out, they're collecting pheromones on their tongue -- this is called the Flehmen response. Those pheromones give your cat important information about other cats around, including whether they're in heat, via electrical signals from body to brain. Who knew something so cute could be so helpful, too?
Your cat may show their tongue if they're missing teeth
Sometimes, cats let their tongue hang out a little because they're missing their canine or front teeth. These teeth help keep the tongue within the mouth, so if your cat is missing one or two of these teeth, it's more likely that their tongue will slip out from time to time. No worries!
Your cat is trying to please you with a behavior they think you like
You might even be reinforcing your cat to stick their tongue out without knowing! If you laugh at your cat, give them attention, or give them a treat when they do this behavior, they may quickly learn that sticking out their tongue gets a positive response. You might start to see your cat do this repeatedly, mainly to get a positive reaction from you. Whether that's 'good' or not is up to you to decide.
Your cat may let their tongue fall out of their mouth when they're relaxed
Sometimes, when cats are relaxed, their tongues naturally slip out. This happens because your cat's jaw loosens up as they relax, so their mouth opens up just enough to let the tongue through.

Do cats understand kisses? What science says
Your cat may or may not take to this human behavior
Woman kissing her cat

Why do we give our pets kisses? For us, it shows affection and devotion to our animals, including by reinforcing the physical bond between us. But when we give our felines a peck on the head and they glare up at us, it's easy to wonder what they feel during this sign of our love.

Do cats understand kisses? To get to the heart of this question, we first have to think about how our kitties feel about us. Scientists don't have a consensus on whether cats feel love (in the same way we do) for us and how we should interpret their behavior. It seems that some mousers do indeed enjoy getting a kiss or two, while others certainly probably don't enjoy it.
