…catch your cat in the middle of a huge yawn, and stick your finger in their mouth? So they get a huge surprise when the yawn is over and there’s suddenly a squishy thing in the way?
I have to admit I do it when I can. I’m such a terrible cat-mom! But it makes me giggle, I can’t help myself.
I used to do it to people too, but they get annoyed.
Goodnight!
I bet you think about this the next time your kitty yawns in your face. 😀
omg, I thought I was the only one who did this. I do it all the time! My kitties aren’t even surprised anymore, they just give me a look. People teeth are too scary, though, so I’ve never tried with a person.
Oh, you get the look AND a comment from people. The game with a human is to not get caught. Even still, there’s no pressure to the bite, unless they get angry and hold on!
I admit, sometimes I do. I just can’t help myself, it’s like they are asking for it.
Exactly! *laugh*
I’ve done it to my dogs! I can’t help it, either!
Ha! My dog is so big, I’d fit my whole hand in there. I don’t think I’ll try it with her, though. She more of a nervous yawner, and I’m always careful that I don’t give her another thing to stress over. Ruining her lovely yawning experience might turn into her having to go upstairs and lie in her bed before she yawns 🙂
Oh, toooo funny! Just reading about it makes me giggle
I see another Internet meme. Videos of people poking pet yawns… and the dirty looks they get…
The Big Mister and I, unfortunately started doing that years ago to each other, but finally had to call a truce. HOWEVER, he has started it again!
I’ve seen cat teeth. I ain’t gonna put my finger in the Mouth of Pointy Doom! 😀
You’d think it could hurt, but it doesn’t! There’s no pressure behind it. I thought of it last night because I did it to Lokii and he is even more gentle than Spot is. I think Spot expects it from me now, he might try to get revenge a little 🙂
You know the way you were talking about misreading things? I just got the Monty Python of Doom. Like Indiana Jones I guess, but surreal.
hee hee! apt, huh, with the misreading!
Hey, you are cruel! No! I never do that ( although I did feel tempted couple of times). C’mon, I was told it’s even dangerous because so many muscles stretch at the same time that when the movement changes abruptly it can cause damage. Anyway, it can be just one of stupid scary stories.
I bet your Lokii doesn’t yawn that often near you 🙂
I’ve had it done to me a lot! I wouldn’t put my finger in the back of the mouth, just in the front over the tongue. We will see if he does, he’s not very smart 🙂
It never even occurred to me to do this…. I feel really stupid now.
It appears some of us do, and some don’t! I know my hubby would never think of doing it.
ooopsie, he reads your blog! let us know how it turns out!
Oh he sees me do it, and I do it to him sometimes. But it just never crosses his mind to try it himself.
I’ve done it. The dirty looks you get are worth it.
Hi Oldcat! Nice to see you here 🙂
Isn’t it just, though? *evil grin*
I believe you should feel more **polite** rather than stupid!
lol your killin me laughing at this idea.
I do it too! Actually Dreifuss likes to.. love nibble. It’s the weirdest (and scariest thing). If he finds my fingers somewhere (like in bed) he’ll start nibbling, even working my finger back to his back teeth. He’s never once hurt me doing this and only does it with me. When I’m not thinking about how much it could hurt I’m sort of touched by his weird gesture.
I like to grab my cats tongue too. If he’s liking my fingers or something I’ll snatch it. It’s damned funny.
Yep, that’s weird. Never had a cat do that! I never had a cat that liked to lick me – maybe I don’t smell tasty 🙂
He’s an odd cat, even without having an odd amount of legs!
