Does your cat yawn periodically when near you?
Rejoice: this is a very good sign.
Apparently, your four-legged friend treats you very well.
A cat is unlikely to yawn in the presence of a person it does not like or is afraid of.
Why does a cat yawn next to a person?
Cats yawn only when they are not stressed and feel absolutely safe.
If you notice how your pet reflexively takes a breath, opening its mouth wide, then you can rejoice.
After all, your four-legged friend is actually demonstrating his affection for you.
Know this: a fluffy one would not yawn in your presence if he did not trust you.
What does a dog's yawning mean?
But for our barking four-legged friends, a reflexive inhalation with a wide open mouth is a bad sign.
After all, dogs often yawn during periods when they are experiencing stress.
However, do not rush to make a disappointing conclusion. It is quite possible that the dog is quite comfortable being near you. The pet simply wants to sleep, hence the yawning.
