Cat snaps #1: Tongue Out & Yawn

Over the years, I have taken an unimaginable amount of kitty snaps during cat-sitting adventures. Seriously… too many!

As it would be rather insane to share them all with you, I’ve decided to break them down into categories of my favourites.

Tongue Out & Yawn is the first in the series. Enjoy!!

Quick cat tongue fact

Surely you must have noticed that unlike the slobbery, slathery lick of a dog, pusscats licks have more of an exfoliating quality.

Well, in case you don’t happen to know already… this sandpapery feeling of the cat’s tongue is due to keratin barbs called ‘papillae‘.
