Aside from the blatantly obvious 'they get exhausted', I've no idea what answer you're after bluetongue.gif

Feed the plushie!

That's surprising bluetongue.gif, you seem to always know all kinds of felid trivia. But no, that's not it.

I've been trying to think of a hint for a while. . . . Hmm. . . besides sweating (hint, noting that cats don't sweat) what happens when you do vigorous physical activity (hint hint)?

nope, remember they're built for increased oxygen intake, lack of which produces the lactic acid *points at why one sweats*

Exactly. They store 90% of the heat their muscles produce while they are running (other mammals in their geographic range only store about 20%), so their temperature skyrockets, and they won't run anymore once their temperature hits about 104F (obviously continuing would lead to organ damage).
