What is cat yawning?

Cats yawn for a variety of reasons, including as a way to release tension or boredom. Yawning can also be a way for cats to communicate with other cats or with humans. Cats may yawn as a calming signal during stressful situations, such as at the vet's office or in a new environment. Additionally, cats may yawn as a natural response to fatigue or lack of sleep. When a cat yawns, it may also stretch its limbs and arch its back, further indicating a need for relaxation and rest.
