International Cat Day: How You Can Celebrate

The International Cat Day What Is The Purpose And How To Celebrate

PENNSYLVANIA (WHTM) - If you love cats or have your own cat, get ready to celebrate because today is International Cat Day! There are many ways to congratulate your furry friend.

International Cat Day falls on August 8th. This day is celebrated every year on August 8, but don't confuse it with National Cat Day, which is celebrated in October. International Cat Day was actually created in 2002 by the International Animal Welfare Fund to celebrate our feline companions and raise awareness of their needs.

Here are some ways to celebrate International Cat Day:

Adopt a cat from a local shelter

If you're like me, a trip to the local animal shelter can turn into a full day trip. It's hard not to take your cat with you. If you have the funds and are willing to adopt a cat or other pet, the best place to start is with a local kennel. My family has even adopted rescue cats from overseas so you can walk with your new best friend.

Feed the local cats

Caution is always important when handling feral cats, but if you feel comfortable feeding local cats this is a great way to make sure they have a happy life. Of course, check with your neighbors and other family members before feeding feral cats. Cats will love you forever and your home will be their new meeting place.

Spay, Neuter or Spay and release

If you want to help local cats, it is worth going through the Catch, Spay, or Spay and Release (TNR) programs first. These programs require you to capture a feral cat, send it to be neutered or neutered, and then released back into the wild. If you see a cat and notice that it has a folded ear, then it is in the TNR program. TNR programs operate across the country. This program is very important for reducing the number of feral cats and ensuring their safe life.

Volunteer at a local shelter

Volunteering at a local kennel can be a great way to help adopt cats if you're not interested in them or can't afford to adopt them. Many animal shelters offer part-time volunteer hours where you can come and help clean animal cages, interact with them, feed them, and play with them.

Buy a gift for your cat

Since this is a trend beyond gifts, I've definitely given my cats some pretty funny gifts. Scare your cat with a cat bite, a cat tunnel, hair on a stick, a new mouse toy, a heated blanket or a cat roller. Yes, you read that correctly. Cat wheel Cat wheels are essentially giant wheels that look like hamster wheels. This is not only fun for your cat, but also fun for you and good exercise for your cat.

Take care of your cat and yourself

Because it is a vacation, it requires delights! Treat your cat to her favorite treats or even try baking a cat cake for her. Just be careful as some foods can be toxic to cats, so research them beforehand. If you give your cat a treat, you may receive it because you are their favorite person.

Brad Pitt Says Hes On The “Last Leg” Of His Career & Asking Himself, “How Do I Wanna Design That?”

In an inspiring and somewhat interesting interview for the August issue of GQ, Brad Pitt called his work "the last semester or quarter." “This is the last semester or quarter. What will this chapter look like? And how do I plan? Pete, 58, has long been thinking about his career, calling it Flag's Plan B. Three "Oscars" for the best film of the last 20 years. So it means something when Pete told GK that the conversation about the upcoming film about women is "as deep as it's been for decades." Directed by Sarah Paul and released December 2, a group of Mennonite women follows Miriam Toussaint's novel about the sexual abuse of men in the colony. Like Pete Plan C, repeat colleague Quentin Tarantino told GQ he saw several examples. "He's one of the last stars of the big screen," he said, comparing Pitt to Paul Newman, Robert Redford and Steve McQueen. "This is true. And frankly, I don't think you can describe it exactly ...

Horford lifted that load four days ago when the Boston Celtics qualified for the Champions League. And in his first game in the big stadium, with all his might, all that buried frustration poured out on him. Horford, 6-for-8 behind the goalie, shot 26-for-12 on 26 team points, outscoring the Celtics 120-108 at the Golden State Warriors. The Celts took control of the fourth quarter and stole the first game from the Warriors The first leg of the NBA Finals was incredible. A player scored three goals in his last game and three points in his life at Horford. As her 7-year-old son sat onstage, Horford asked what she meant. "Thank you for this opportunity," he said with a bright smile. "It's just about going out at the end of the day and playing basketball. That's the thing." Horford couldn...
