Neville sticks his tongue out more than any other cat I’ve had as a roommate. Usually, just the tip protrudes. Once in a while, it is more. I don’t know why he does it; I don’t know why any cat does it. Perhaps Nev is using it to test the temperature, his fur preventing him from attaining an accurate reading otherwise. Perhaps it’s a hint that he is hungry, and that I should feed him. Perhaps he is expressing his opinion of me, his surroundings, or life in general. Perhaps he thinks he’s a snake.
Whatever the cause, I find it amusing. I captured the moment in a slightly blurry photograph. I intend to show it to too many uninterested people.

ReplyDeleteIt seems that Neville is not afraid to express his opinion.
ReplyDeleteWE love it. MOARE!
ReplyDeleteHe's such a cutie! I've never had a cat that did this, my life is empty for it. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is too cute.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, the world of science has actually investigated this urgent mystery.
ReplyDeleteTheir conclusion: FLOOFY DETECTIVES. (Yes, that's a quote.)

When I wrote that Neville may think he's a snake, that wasn't far off? (By the bye, 'Flehman' would be a good name for a cat...)
DeleteThat's so adorable. I don't know why it elicits such a response in humans, but it does. Nicki used to forget to put his tongue back in quite often, then fall asleep like that. Silly boy. I did read the the link Undine posted, and I guess it makes sense. It's as good an explanation as I've ever read, at any rate. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's not just his tongue that made me laugh, but the expression on his face too.
ReplyDeleteThat “What are YOU laughing at?!” look.
DeleteI agree with Kea, that really is adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteWe just love your blep, Nevsky!
ReplyDeleteAnd we don't care why you do it; we just enjoy seeing it!
You look just adorable, Neville!
ReplyDeleteSo funny! I've never seen a cat do that. His expression is priceless!
ReplyDeleteHeHe! Bless! Lets hope he does'nt
ReplyDeletestart doing a blowing sound at the

'raspberry'..! :).
He's adorable looking, not a masculine to say, but I'll say it
ReplyDeleteanyway! Taste testing the air to see if treats were left out?
