International Cat Day – August 8th
In a world filled with furry pups, our feline friends often go unnoticed. However cats finally get their day in the spotlight! Celebrated across the nation on August 8th is International Cat Day.
Back in 2002, a group of animal lovers known as the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) created International Cat Day. This idea was a way to bring awareness to and provide information about the wonderfully wacky (and lazy) world of felines.
This celebration confirms that dogs aren’t the only best friends of humans. A kitty can make an equally fun, entertaining and loyal (albeit sometimes indifferent) pet. Felines provide their owners with unconditional love, companionship and oodles of entertainment (think funny cat videos).
Cat lovers everywhere – celebrate!
Here are a few ideas to get you inspired:
- Give your kitty a brushing to remove excess hair (this may help with hairballs later).
- Take funny pictures of your feline friend in costume and share them!
- Treat your whiskered pal to a special meal, a new bed, or some distracting toys that they can chase around the house. Maybe fill a favorite toy with a bit of naughty catnip and watch the elegant slinky fun ensue.
- Get your kitty a shiny new collar with a fancy name tag – even if you can’t take them for a walk, they will appreciate the thought.
