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.

What happens to your throat when you sleep with your mouth open?

Nothing much. It isn't like your throat is going to rot away or anything, but I guess that depends on how wide you open your mouth. If you open your mouth as wide as it can go for weeks on end, it is very unhealthy for you for dust and other particles (life forms even) can go in and that wide open mouth probably means that you have trouble time breathing and need medication. Also, it will suck if an insect fell in but I'm pretty sure all these possibilities won't happen to you if you only slightly open your mouth while sleeping.


What could be wrong with my English bulldog if he is making gurgling noises while breathing but only when his mouth is open when he's not panting he seems fine?

English bulldogs are brachycephalic dogs. This means that they have a squashed face, short muzzle and narrow nasal passages. Gurgling noises are commonly heard when bulldogs breathe. If you are concerned about the sound your bulldog makes while breathing, have a veterinarian examine it.
