Is yawning contagious to dogs and cats?
For our furry friends, yawning is more than just a sign of fatigue. Believe it or not, yawning can even be contagious between dogs and cats.
Research shows that when dogs and cats see another yawn, or even a human on screen, they're more likely to yawn themselves.
This phenomenon is not completely understood, but scientists have several theories. It can be a sign of empathy and a way to show that you understand and share the feelings of sleepiness.
Alternatively, it may be a form of social bonding, in which mirroring behavior strengthens the bond between individuals.
So the next time you see your dog or cat yawning and chasing you, don't reach for the coffee just yet.
They may simply be expressing their connection to you in a unique, yawning way.
