Welcome to the Caturday open thread! Today’s visitor is Squirt, a stray cat getting love and care from reader Tara O., who adds: “He has been a stray in my yard for a few weeks now. He’s a little scared but very friendly, food motivated, and knows I will feed him and give him skritches.”
While it may appear simple and spontaneous, yawning is a complex skill that requires practice to achieve mastery. In this guide you will learn the three steps of the basic puppy yawn:
Step One: Preparation — Allow your body to become limp and sleepy. Clear your mind of thoughts, if you happen to have any.
Pay no attention to that fly.
Step Two: Initiate the Yawn — Extend tongue forward. Take care at this step that tongue does not trail onto ground.
AHHHHHHHHHHHH
Step Three: Follow Through — While withdrawing your tongue, open your mouth wide as if about to eat a giant cheeseburger. Curling the tongue at this step adds an extra flourish.
