你知道嗎：喵星人愛吐舌頭只是因為呆萌？

Caught Mid-Clean

貓兒剛好在清理毛發

　　What better way to ease out of the work week and jump into the start of the weekend than with some adorable, cute cats?

　　工作日后，能與一些討人喜愛的貓咪一同開始周末，沒有比這更好的吧？

　　What makes these cats even cuter is well, they forgot to do one thing — put their tongues back in!

　　使這些貓咪更加萌的就是，它們忘了把舌頭縮回來！

　　He looks like he either can't put his tongue in (which is possible) or you caught his mid-groom.

　　圖中的貓貓看起來要么是忘收舌頭（很有可能哦），要么就是你剛巧看到它在梳理毛發。

ou Interrupted.

你打擾到它了。

　　This little cutie looks like he for sure was just giving his paw a clean and is now upset you've interrupted.

　　這個小可愛剛好正在清理貓爪，現在因你的打擾而心情郁悶。

　　I used to wonder why or how cats could just sit there like that, but turns out it’s kinda common and usually done for 1 of 3 different reasons.

　　我曾經好奇貓咪們會這樣吐舌坐著的原因或它們是怎么做到的，不過發現似乎這情況屢見不鮮，而且通常是出于以下三種不同原因之一。

1. They forgot: Cats spend a lot of time grooming so their tongue is out licking their fur. You may either just see a quick moment as they look up and you catch them with their tongue out, or they simply forgot to put it back in their mouth.

1. 它們忘了：貓咪花很多時間梳理毛發，這樣它們會伸舌舔毛。你也許恰巧在它們抬頭看你時瞥到它們的舌頭伸在外面，或是它們就是忘了把舌頭收回去。

2. They're relaxed: Some cats get into this really groovy state of being relaxed and their jaw muscles relax or their tongue falls out when they’re asleep.

2. 它們感到放松：一些貓咪會進入這種非常愜意、放松的狀態，因而它們舒展頜部肌肉，或是睡著了舌頭垂了下來。

3. They're sick or injured: Some medical conditions can have your cat unable to keep their tongue in. If you notice them doing it all the time, it may be worth a visit to the vet.

3. 它們病了或者受傷了：你的貓咪不能把舌頭收進去也許是健康原因導致的。如果你注意到它們的舌頭老伸在外面，那么可能你應該帶它去看獸醫了。
