51 Hilariously Cute Animals Blepping, Loafing, And Making Your Day Better | Bored Panda
Cats might dominate the internet with their antics, attitude, and photogenic purrfection, but that doesn’t mean other critters don’t get their day in the cyber sun too. Animals of all kinds find their way onto our screens daily and we couldn’t be happier about it.
While there are several online communities dedicated to bringing netizens the best of beasts, we’ve picked a few that gave us the fuzzies with their ample bleps, blops, blups and bleploaves. Cuddle up to this collection of the cutest!
Urban Dictionary, the web’s most popular slang resource, defines the word "blep" as, "the act of a cat sticking its tongue out slightly without realizing it, often for long periods of time." The term was first coined over ten years ago by the creator of the r/Blep subreddit, BillohRly, who also came up with the variations "blop" and "blup" to describe the same behavior in other animals.
But just why do cats blep? There are actually several reasons. When cats stick their tongues out, they are literally getting a better sense of their environment by analyzing scents. This is part of the Flehmen response, which aids them in "smelling" through taste when encountering something unusual, like new smells on your shoes or clothes.
Bleps also happen when a cat is deeply relaxed, especially during sleep. Their jaws may slacken, letting their tongue slip out, a sign they feel completely safe and comfortable. Certain breeds like Persians or Himalayans are more prone to blepping because of their facial structure, which makes keeping their tongue inside a bit more challenging.
