Porkchop the cat is like other cats in a lot of ways, but he has an unusual characteristic: his tongue is so long that it hangs out of his mouth at all times!

The 7-year-old cat was adopted by his current family back in October of 2021 and he now lives with them in Nepean, Ontario.

Porkchop’s tongue is so long that it doesn’t fit all the way in his mouth, so it’s always hanging out.

Sometimes his tongue sticks out just a tiny bit, but other times it sticks out a lot.

Porkchop’s owner told ViralHog: “He has an abnormally long tongue which causes it to hang out of his mouth at all times. Sometimes it will only stick out a little bit and sometimes it will be hanging out as far as Gene Simmons’ tongue from KISS.”

His owners have devised a plan to help Porkchop pull his tongue back in when needed.

They explained that sometimes, they tap his tongue to give it a little “reset” so it goes back to sticking out just a little.

“He also likes to play fetch, so we joke around saying he’s more like a dog than a cat. He’s just a super sweet, silly boy!” they added.
