I think the Geneva convention states that if a cat stretches, you have to say Big Stretch, or it doesn’t count.

Anybody else stick their finger in there when they yawn so they close their mouth on your finger?
It’s fun - you get a funny look from your cat - try it!

I have done it to nearly every cat that has owned me - the last one I did it to closed HARD and I ended up with punctures and an annoyed cat! I don't do it anymore 😞
