anita 514! What fine fangs your cat has! That cute little curl-tongue is something I've never noticed in a "Cat-yawn" photo.
Nice Photo!

That tongue curl is a great moment to catch!
Not even any yawning going on here:

Dawwww what a cutie!
Fritz: sadly my cat has only 2 fangs left. He is old and his teeth are falling out. Poor old gummy guy.

Harley (the cat) knocks off another climb. Our old, but peachy, Peach tree is breaking bloom and he thought a romp up it would be good cat fun.
He spent a long time up there, then started a head-first descent, executed a 180 degree sideways flip over and barely held on, then finished the down-climb tail first.

Moonlight liked sleeping on the treadmill - the motor created a slightly warmer spot. Any fleece blanket would do.
Next favorite activity - bird watching.

We had to put Gomez down yesterday. He was just 5 years old.
He had suddenly lost the ability to use his hind legs. It's unclear if his howls were from pain, or confusion, or both. We rushed him to the emergency vet. We were informed that he had an enlarged heart - which resulted in a blood clot along his spinal column. The long-term was uncertain - extremely so. Some cats with this condition miraculously cure themselves (which cats are known to do), and some struggle with a short, expensive, and extremely painful existence with little human-cat relationship or reward. It pained us greatly to decide to let him go, but we had to decide something, and we did so without guilt or shame. He passed peacefully with his head resting in my hand. There we a lot of tears.
Love your cats, people! They rewards us with so many things that can't be put into words or pictures.

Sorry to hear about Gomez.
I've been where you are right now, and I know all about the tears.

Was catching up and sad to read about Gomez. "Love your cats, people! They rewards us with so many things that can't be put into words or pictures." Well said, TwistedCrank.
The simplest things they do bring smiles and laughter into my life. I went to bed with a smile last night because this was the last scene I saw before turning off the light.

Sophie is a 15 pound Bengal. She isn't impressed. She likes water, but if you held her under a tap she'd take your face off.
