Do cats catch yawns from humans?

Usualy cats yawn in the morning, when they wake up ( my cat yawn at noon…)
And they rarely yawn in the evenings…
Right?

The picture of the yawning cat was "directed"...

It was taken after yawning infront of the cat to see if she'll catch it!!!

And she did!

Great Experiment!

You are welcome to try it with your cats and add your comments.

Sleeping cats sleeping humans

Cats may look lazy to us, well, they do sleep 18 hours a day…

But it is a physiological need for them. It's not laziness.

For example, the Lion sleeps 20-22 hours a day!

The problem is they sleep all day and wakes full of energy at night...!

Now, if you play with your cat just before bad time, with a fishing rod cat toy for example and give him a large meal, You have a better chance for a quiet full night sleep.
