Yawn...A Tribute to the Weary and the Unimpressed

I just love a good cat yawn....especially the way the whiskers pull forward ever so slightly in anticipation of the event...my sign to get the camera. Did you know that cats view yawns as a sign that you mean them no harm?? You know....
Butt Sniff = Handshake/ "Hi how ya doin"?"/ "Don't I know you?"/ Greeting.

Yawn = No worries/ Not gonna hurt you/ It's all good.......

Try it sometime, it works wonders on freaked out kittens....calms them right down.
Yawns are also contagious and can be hypnotic under the right circumstances.....if used properly, they can put even the most unruly little feline into a deep slumber.
This is my favorite of all the yawnage I have managed to capture on film.
This is my Leo....my sweet baby that I lost a few months back.....my little love that I miss so terribly.
