Meow, Meow, Meow...

What's happenin'?

Meow, Meow, Meow...etc. The curiosity of our feline friends is never ceasing! Anyone who owns a cat is very familiar with the curious nature that is a natural instinct throughout daily routines. By nature, a cat is an explorer and a natural hunter, constantly on the hunt but not necessarily for food. They are always on a quest for the unknown. Antics and attitudes that may seem strange to us appear very normal to the cat. Cats like, often demand attention, but want it when they want it and in the amount they want...on their terms so to speak! With that being said, it is time for the cat to have his or her day...literally!

October 29 is...


 "What greater gift than the love of a cat?"—Charles Dickens
  
National Cat Day encourages the celebration, worship and adoration of cats, in the same way that human cultures have since the dawn of civilization. The day was created in 2005 by animal welfare advocate Colleen Paige, whose aim was to raise awareness of the number of cats that are rescued each year and to encourage cat lovers to celebrate the felines in their lives.
Nationalcatday.com says "on October 29th....it's party time! We encourage you to spoil your fur baby a little more on National Cat Day than any other day (you don't want them to get too demanding do you?) by buying them a new toy drenched in cat nip, giving them something simply scrumptious to eat, offering LOTS more cuddling and making a donation to  your local shelter in their honor. The best way you can celebrate though is to save a life!"
Cats are one of the most beloved human companions of all time. They were first domesticated in the Middle East’s Fertile Crescent as early as 12,000 years ago. When humans relied on hunting as their main source of food, dogs were most useful – but when the first agricultural societies emerged, cats became invaluable. Domesticated cats became responsible for keeping grain stores free of mice and other rodents. Today, cats can be found in 34% of American households, making them the most popular house pet in the United States.

Do you love cats? How will you be celebrating that love? Need Gift Ideas for THE Cat?
