The day is long and lunch time is too short. Thank science for coffee and Internet breaks. Put aside the woes and weight of the world for a few minutes and smile your way through this collection of 42 photos of cats yawning. There's something magical about the yawn — it can turn anyone, any creature, into the derpiest, most awkward being around. Thankfully for all of us, there were camera lenses around to catch these sleepy cats fighting their way through their yawns, and we collected our favorite shots to share with you. Enjoy!
