It’s no secret, I am a cat lady. Yes, dogs are fun and adorable, but cats will always have a special place in my heart. Just the sight of one will turn me into a baby-talking nincompoop. So when I found out that today, August 8th, is in fact World Cat Day, I did a little happy dance and immediately went to the dollar store to celebrate.
I bought Kitty a new toy and even her own special party hat.
Needless to say, she was less than enthused about the hat, (note how excited she is) but she did have fun smacking around her new feather toy.
According to Cute Calender, World Cat Day was founded in 2002 by animal rights group IFAW. It’s the perfect opportunity to show your cat how much you love them. While it is a little silly (ok, a lot silly), keep in mind that cats can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve mental health by providing love and companionship. Sometimes, they even catch vermin and household pests (but not mine, she’s too lazy). So go ahead, give your cat some extra table scraps tonight. They’ve earned it!
