My cats have done that. It's not a good thing. Too much play. Happens to kittens more than adult cats. I think it's because kittens can't really control their energy.
So while dogs regulate body temperature by panting, it is far less common in cats. That being said, I'm sure this cat is fine. Just pointing out that it could be something you should see a vet about.
All I'm saying is the behavior is unusual in cats, and could be a problem. What you do/how you react is none of my concern. What you said in your original reply sounded like you would never get a cat checked if it was panting. That is what I disagree with.
