Just a few days ago, somebody was talking about their kitty sticking out their tongue and it reminded me that Emily always does this when she is very sleepy or snuggly. She is also a kitty who still pretend "suckles" so maybe this is part of it. Lately, she has been very snuggly and I took several pictures of her on my lap and sure enough - there is that pink tongue
Enjoying a chin scritch...

Closer up ...see her tongue??

not just when she is asleep either - she keeps it out awake too

Silly Princess!!
