International Cat Day is celebrated annually on August 8th. This day aims to raise awareness about the importance of cats in our lives and promote their welfare. It encourages people to adopt and care for cats, highlighting the joy and companionship they bring. The celebration was established by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) in 2002. Activities often include sharing photos of cats on social media, organizing adoption events, and educating the public about responsible pet ownership. This day serves as a reminder to appreciate and protect our feline friends.
