When this happens, the cat instinctively licks its lips to compensate for the build-up. Too much saliva in a cat&#8217;s mouth might signify the possibility of other health problems.

If you suspect your cat has an ear infection, it is safe to visit the vet. The vet will assess your cat and determine the correct method of treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ear_mite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ear mites<\/a> are not a universal problem. Yet, it is most common in cats rather than dogs. Without a doubt, ear mites will result in severe scratching of the ear, leading to a cat shaking its head.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In both cases, you have to visit a veterinarian for proper treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"96897f\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #96897f;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5-17-jpg.webp\" alt=\"Parasites on a kitten\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-1360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5-17-jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5-17-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5-17-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">(Parasites on a kitten)<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"other-signs-to-watch-for-and-how-to-help\"><strong>Other Signs to Watch for and How to Help<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>While a cat licking its lips is an entirely typical activity, it&#8217;s vital to watch out for any underlying problems.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"check-your-cats-behavior\"><strong>Check your cat&#8217;s behavior.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Is your cat&#8217;s lip-licking a symptom of a shift in the surroundings?
