Today is International Cat Day

International Cat Day is a full 24 hours of recognition and veneration of one of humanity’s oldest and most beloved pets. The festivities were put together for the first time in 2002 by IFAW, the International Fund for Animal Welfare, among other animal rights groups, to celebrate the most popular pet on the planet.

An estimated 500 million cats are thought to be frolicking in neighbours’ gardens across the world, which means that most every extended family is bound to have an aunt with more kittens than former husbands, whatever the country or climate. And that’s great, because owning a cat has been shown to improve mental health and to relieve stress, anxiety and depression. So when it’s raining cats and dogs outside and you don’t have someone to cuddle with, any black, ginger, Persian, Siamese, Burmese, Bengal, Shorthair, Munchkin, Balinese, RagaMuffin or any old stray cat will do the trick.

 

You’ve only got one?

 

You've got the mad part. That's a start.

 

Our cats great! She thinks we feel left out, so she brings live mice in for us to chase out of the kitchen.
I’m sure she’s laughing at us.

 

Giving a home to a stray moggy is my favourite thing to do. We have adopted four more who've turned up on our doorstep during lockdown (other people's cast offs ) bringing our total to six. Oh and one of the newbs is heavily preggers.

 

Anyone who owns a cat........

Your house stinks
