The Yawn of Disapproval (2/23/15)

We have already met the #SideYawn, and there are many more yawns in Emily's repertoire. The one that fits today is the Yawn of Disapproval. For everything from John Travolta getting unexpectedly handsy with Scarlett Johansson to John Travolta's new face, to, well, anything else you can think of that has to do with John Travolta recently, this is a yawn for any occasion where disapproval of the highest order is called for. When she was roused from her slumbers this morning, Emily broke out this rarely seen, but stingingly effective, yawn-based maneuver.

First she makes you think that she is so disinterested in the event that has offended her feline sensibilities that she is just licking her lips. Then she quietly pivots, building on this solid foundation of disdain, a towering pillar of yawn, displaying all of her glory. This technique, almost impossible to accomplish, effectively juxtaposing her glamorous canines with the unspeakably gauche act she has just witnessed/experienced. Yes, this yawn is a masterpiece.
