This often happens when the kitty is deep in sleep (as seen above) or following a fastidious licking bath (below), but one thing everyone knows for certain is that the longer the tongue stays out the kitty's mouth, the more magical (and hilarious) the moment becomes.

Sometimes these silly moments only last a couple seconds, so the cat's human inevitably makes a mad dash for a camera in hopes of documenting the lapse in the cat's usual reputation for being regal, dignified and decidedly non-dopey looking.

Here are just a few of these funny feline Kodak moments:

The world needed a good kitty ping today.

Hugs to all of the kitties who own humans here from me.

My Lil’ Otter TKat always her tongue sticking out. Gives her a very comical look. None of her siblings do that.

Not a great picture but one I can find quick. Lil' Otter TKat on the left (she has a T on her chest and she frequently lays on her back like an otter). Her mom, Spook, is on the right. Of course, she's not sticking her tongue out in the picture.

No tongue here, but he used to drool when you gave him a rub...:)

He was a good cat, I sure do miss him.

Oscar and Felix(orange cat) when they were kittens. Felix stuck his tongue out frequently sometimes for minutes at a time.
