Panting with an open mouth in a pregnant cat could be a sign of stress, pain, or overheating. It is important to monitor her closely and consult with a veterinarian to ensure her health and well-being.
A nursing cat may pant with its mouth open due to stress, pain, or overheating. It is important to monitor your cat's behavior and consult a veterinarian if the panting persists or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms.
Heavy, or open mouth, breathing in a cat is generally a medical emergency, especially when in combination with extreme lethargy. The cat should be taken to an emergency clinic ASAP. This is not to be confused with panting due to stress or extreme heat/exertion.
You've got to be kidding, right? You need to read a good book about sex to figure out how people get pregnant.

To keep a cat's mouth open for a dental exam, gently grasp the sides of the cat's mouth behind the canines and apply gentle pressure to open the mouth. You can also use a special cat mouth opener tool if available. Make sure to proceed carefully and calmly to avoid causing stress or discomfort to the cat.

Called "panting" ... since cats can't sweat like humans, they can only cool off themselves through the glands in their tongue. -- I disagree. It's not normal for cats to pant or breath through their mouths. A cat breathing through it's mouth is generally an indication of a problem. Breathing hard with an open mouth can be a sign of a serious heart problem. You should check the tongue and gums for "pinkness." If these are losing color or taking on a blueish cast, then it is clearly a circulation problem and your feline's days are probably numbered. Mouth-breathing in cats is a condition that requires a Veterinarian.

The best way to administer a pill to a cat is to wrap the pill in a treat or use a pill pocket, hold the cat gently but firmly, open its mouth, place the pill at the back of the tongue, and close the mouth to make sure the cat swallows the pill.
The best way is to palm the cats head, place your forefinger and thumb on opposite sides of the rear of the jaw. Then with the pill in your other hand, pull their mouth open with your middle finger and place the pill on the back of the tongue with your forefinger, then let go. It sounds tough and harsh but it works! :) The easiest way I've found is to kneel on the floor and place the cat between your knees, facing away from you. In this position, if the cat tries to back away from you when you open its jaw, it simply backs towards you. Then place the palm of your hand on the top of the cat's head, and use two fingers of the same hand to hold the cat's jaw at the front, near the upper canine teeth. Lift the jaw gently, and the mouth will easily open. Pop the pill into the cat's mouth as far back as you can on its tongue, and just touch the top of the inside of the mouth with your finger for a moment - this triggers a swallowing reflex. Let the cat's mouth close and put your hand under the jaw and stroke downwards for a few seconds to help the cat to swallow the pill. Give the cat a good calming cuddle afterwards since this kind of thing is scary for a cat and you should help the cat to calm down and put the incident behind it. Especially if it needs to take a course of pills.
