International Cat Day

International Cat Day is a celebration that takes place annually on 8 August and was created in 2002 by the International Fund for Animal Welfare.
International Cat Day is a day to raise awareness and celebrate one of man’s most common and ancient pets and learn about ways to help and protect felines. Cats are one of the coolest beings on the planet with their independent, curious, loyal and adventurous personalities. Cats have an amazing physiognomy and the power to heal by themselves, at least most of the time.
