Is it normal to love it when your cat yawns?

I have this 'thing' with when my two cats YAWN! I don't know why, but it is so endearing to me, and I am fascinated by those big teeth in their mouths. I am wondering if this is normal?

    Hahaha! Yes. It's like they have a flip-top head it gapes open so wide. And those are some scary teeth!

    When my cat does it, I quickly (and gently) poke the middle his tongue to disrupt his yawn. He finds it amusing and usually makes goo-goo eyes at me and coos afterwards.

      Its nice that you can do that with your cat but, if I did that with my cat she would kill me. I'm not even daring enough to touch her belly. That's like an instant death area! O_0

        Really? Heehee. :)
        I have another cat who feels the same way about his belly.

        Why do they present to us then like they want it rubbed? It looks so soft, I want to touch it, but I also don't want to bleed.

    I like watching any animal yawn (or scratch). It makes me feel like we have something in common as life on this planet.

    I love it when my cats yawn, too, especially my Himalayan- She looks like Aniiiimal from the muppets when she does that!

    It's very normal. I have a panda bear hamster and I just get so happy when I catch her yawning. It's one of the cutest things I've ever seen. It's just some things amuse people more than others. Perfectly normal.

    Sure why not. I look down my dogs throats when they yawn.
