Le baîllement-bavardage

You have probably seen a cat yawn-meow, even though you are unlikely to have filmed it. But how about a yawn-chatter? 

Yes, that’s right, a yawn-chatter. It’s when a cat’s bird-chatter utterance morphs into a yawn. 

No? Well, I may be able to help you out there.

When I was searching my phone for something else entirely (I can’t even remember what that was anymore), I found this video of Louis Catorze at it. Merely witnessing this is quite something. Catching it on camera is like seeing a UFO shower, the Loch Ness Monster and the aurora borealis, all at the same time. 

This was filmed in October last year, and I am still perplexed at how I just FORGOT that I had evidence of such a wonder: 

Sorry … what?

You’re welcome.

    Wow! Thank you for sharing this double feat with us. Not only Louis managed to do it but also you achieved to film it. Both of you deserve our genuine admiration 🙂😺

    Oh my word! That was a truly miraculous feat of nature! Thanks to you for sharing and to Louis for chatter-yawning.

      Haha, I called it a yawn-chatter but chatter-yawn is more correct as that’s the order of events!

    Cats are very efficient. Doing it all in one movement takes skill!

      I don’t know if “skill” is the word I’d use.

    Amazing timing in capturing this ! We have no idea what is going on – none of our cats have ever done that. In fact, they haven’t usually even done the chattering at birds, which is a fairly common cat thing.

      Catorze chatters at any flying things. He does it at flies. And he once did it at the pterodactyls on Jurassic Park. 🤣🤣🤣

        Given how much time he likes to spend outside, the fact that he chatters at pterodactyls is somewhat disturbing. What may be going on when it is nighttime out there ?

    The video is really cute! I can do it too, talk and yawn at the same time 😀 Rosie can’t, because she squeaks like a mouse.

        Haha, it is very tiny and rare, she is not a talker! It really sounds like a mouse, it’s very funny 🙂

    Apparently the birds weren’t as exciting as he had expected. 🙂
