    Cats don't pant like dogs to help cool themselves.  Instead they lick themselves to remove sweat.  When my big cat gets hot he "melts" (he becomes limp and "oozy".  I turn on the ceiling fan to help cool him.  My other cat just licks and licks himself to stay cool.  Many times he'll lick me (throughly) as he thinks it helps cool me down as well.  I haven't the heart to tell him I'm allergic to his saliva.

    I'm a dog person with the exception of one cat that adopted us for the last 10 years of her life.

    This is a really interesting site:
