Can You Make Your Cat Yawn?

I've noticed sometimes when I yawn Persia will yawn, too. Why are yawns
infectious, even among our feline friends?

When I come home and greet Blacky - usually petting him over his head
- he often looks at me and gives me a great, big yawn. Time and again
I am asatonished, how big a cat's mouth can get then.

TJ used to say that Dusty would get bored listening to her.

Cats are very skilled at yawning. They can yawn with their whole
bodies. They don't even need to open their mouths in order to yawn.
When they stretch out their front paws, that counts as a yawn.
