Chula Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Chula yawns a lot. I mean, a lot. I cant find anything on the Google. Do you think her ears could be bothering her? She doesn't seem to be itching or anything. Doesn't complain when ears are touched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chula Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Oh and it started about two days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Sometimes, yawning especially when not tired can be a sign of stress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmscott Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Does she do it when you're looking at her or is there anything new that is stressing her? A direct stare is a confrontational stance to dogs and usually dogs will yawn to relieve stress. Although sometimes, just like us, they are just plain bored. lol.

Chula Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Doesn't seem to be anything specific that set it off. Though there have been a couple feral cats, one in heat, hanging outside the window that she looks out. Wonder if that stresses her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmscott Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 It's a possibility. Animals in heat can make distressed sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chula Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 She's driving me batty because she wants to go out every 15 minutes just too look at them. That and someone dumped a bunch of Chinese fried rice around the corner and she knows its hanging out there waiting for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 is there any way of keeping the cat away from your house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chula Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Nope. They live in the crawl space three townhouses over. I've informed the community manager of the issue several times but they don't do anything. I suppose I could report them to the county, though I dont want them euthanized. They seem like house cats that got left behind by people who moved. I let Chula out to pee this morning and she took off. Good thing I had a good grasp on the lead because she would have run for days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyGuerl Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Meeka yawns alot in a row but not in a day but so far its only because she is tired because when she yawns she normally goes to sleep after the fifth one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARRINGTON Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Balto only yawns when tired, or if he starts to stare at me and I stare back at him he yawns and looks away, or if in a new environment or there is something new going on outside.

Jay Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I was just going to post another topic about yawning, but found this one started a few months ago. I just saw an article on MSN that your dog can catch your yawns. Mine seem to yawn a lot, especially Yukon, but they don't seem stressed. Does anyone else's dogs yawn a lot?

Christine0925 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Dexter since 8 weeks has always been a high anxiety dog, and he yawns all the time- Hes over a year and he will still yawn if we look at him directly for more than 5 seconds, its a stress reliever. He does it in situations when he is uncomfortable, or something new, if you pet him for too long etc. I have stopped trying to fix it- its just who he is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chula Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Chula still yawns pretty frequently, and it's pretty clearly tied to stressful situations. If she sees something outside, if she is scolded for being naughty, if we make her "wait" too long to eat and she has to stare at her food and wonder if an invisible creature is going to swoop down and steal it all from her before we give her the release command. It makes me kind of sad that she's so high anxiety. The weird thing is that she doesn't really seem to have separation anxiety. Every time I come home from work she's just chilling happily in her crate, doesn't start pawing it or barking to get out. Sometimes she looks at me like "oh, you're home?".

LittleLuka Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Knox yawns constantly but considering he's been moved 2wice in the past week I would assume it's stress related. One more move and i can get him settled. poor baby bully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
