3. If the cat keeps its mouth open, it may be due to a dislocated jaw.

What should I do if my kitten keeps opening its mouth?
1. If the kitten is opening its mouth because of the heat, you should cool it down in time. When using air conditioning or electric fans, be careful not to let the air blow directly on the kitten.
2. If a cat has a respiratory illness, the owner should provide them with sufficient nutrition and take them to a veterinary hospital for treatment in a timely manner.
3. If a cat is frightened, it will keep its mouth open to relieve its discomfort. The owner can stroke the cat's fur, stay with it, and slowly soothe its emotions.
4. If the cat keeps its mouth open, the owner should provide the cat with enough drinking water and move the cat to a cool, well-ventilated place.
