You get tongue ties where it is attached to the bottom of the mouth, but not to the top.

In cleft palate the tongue can also adopt a strange position due to the palate defect, but is not really stuck to the roof of the mouth.
As Saikou says drying of the mouth due to dehydration can cause the tongue to stick to the roof.

If anyone has any more info or literature, I would like to see it.
This is why i think it was more likely a cleft. The strange cry is also a classical sign of a cleft kitten too. Its very sad, but you did everything you could.
