They release heat however they want and whenever they bloody-well feel like it.

Basically, they breathe with their mouths open, which becomes panting when necessary…

A common cooling mechanism, cats will breathe with their mouth open and tongue out, accompanied by heavy breathing noises, when they’re too hot. As the heatstroke worsens, the panting will increase. Panting is a perfectly normal response to overheating and should begin to subside as your cat cools down.

do cats pant?
