This year’s Great Yawn was the biggest yet, with more than 300 cats attending the cushion field behind the library. The festival begins at dusk when someone yawns. Then everyone yawns. Then it turns into a very long yawn that lasts around three hours.
Highlights included a breathtaking yawn by Duchess Pip, whose mouth opened so wide that a moth flew in and out again. There was a stretching contest, a nap relay, and a food stall that sold only warm milk and pure silence.
I danced. By which I mean I lay down. By which I mean it was the best night of my year. See you in September next year, or whenever I wake up.
