International Cat Day

International Cat Day is a celebration which takes place on August 8, every year. It was created in 2002 by the International Fund for Animal Welfare^.

In some countries, International Cat Day is also referred to as World Cat Day. While most countries now observe this unofficial holiday on August 8th, Russia celebrates National Cat Day on  March 1 and the U.S. celebrates both International Cat Day and their own National Cat Day on October 29.

International Cat Day is a day to raise awareness for our feline friends and learn about ways to help and protect them. Cat Day is another unofficial Cat Holiday observed on February 22, that originated in Japan and has become a social media sensation and is growing worldwide as people across the globe share the cat pictures and videos.
