National Cat Day

National Cat Day

If you didn’t already know, October 29th is National Cat Day. It was founded to help the public recognize the number of cats that need to be rescued. It also encourages cat lovers/owners to celebrate the little furballs in their lives. It was created by Pet Lifestyle Expert and Animal Welfare Advocate, Colleen Paige, in 2005. Here are some ways you can celebrate this joyous day with your furry and non-furry feline friends thanks to Blue Buffalo.

Nifty Ideas

There’s the obvious, adopt a cat from your local shelter or cat rescue, donate blankets, food and toys to animal welfare organizations, or volunteer at your local shelter and offer to play with some cats available for adoption, clean cages and litter boxes or anything else they need help with. You could always write your Congressman and ask that he/she support the ban of kitten mills and gas chambers in your state.

Have a National Cat Day party and invite all your friends and their cats! Paint your face, wear kitty ears or dress in cat-related fashion, buy your cat a collar and tag with your name and number, just in case they get outside and happen to become lost, hire a professional pet photographer for a fun photoshoot, or commission a custom portrait painted of your cat. Bake some cat shaped cookies for your kids, friends or office and bake some tuna cookies for your cat.

You could give your cat some fun exercise by putting up some walls shelves specifically for him/her, make a window perch for your cat to lay in the sun. Give your cat a calming massage, rush your cat to eliminate excess fur and hairballs, and make a commitment to your cat’s health and buy all natural products from food to litter, such as BLUE Naturally Fresh Cat Litter made from walnuts.
