These three sisters in tsavo east show us the best way to nap when you're belly full !
While on a safari in tsavo east we normally make it a point to stop and check some of the waterholes, especially if its a particularly hot day.

With bellies full, two lionesses that were fast asleep looked ever so comfortable with their legs facing up to the skies.

The cats filiform papillae which is located on the tongues dorsal surface, is the main reason for the roughness, and these can also be compared to barbs since they face backwards in the direction of the throat.  Having a barbed tongue is beneficial to the lion for a number of reasons.
