5 Ways to Celebrate National Cat Day

As all of you cat lovers out there know, not a day goes by where you’re not obsessing about your feline friend. You often face a daily struggle not to show everyone you meet the countless photos you have of your cat stored on your phone. But fear not, the 29th October marks the official day it’s socially acceptable to release your inner crazy cat lady/man, as it National Cat Day!


Although National Cat day is an American holiday, here at Paws and Claws we love an excuse to celebrate all things cats, so we have come up with a list of top activities for you and your pet to do this weekend.




Pamper your cat

Although cats are very self-sufficient, when it comes to cleaning themselves giving them a helping hand every now and again will not go a miss (especially long haired cats). By giving your cat a brush you will help reduce excess hair and prevent hairballs. Not only this, but grooming your cat gives you time to bond and note any changes (sore patches or lumps) that could be affecting your cat.


Treat your cat

Everyone likes to be treated once in a while, so why not buy your cat’s favourite dinner or treat them to a new collar or bed.

Have a photo-shoot

What better excuse (to take more photos of your cat than you normally do!) than it being National Cat Day? You could either take a selfie with your cat, or get a shot of them pulling their cutest pose to remember your cat-tastic day!
With Halloween looming why not get a snap of your cat dressed in their best Halloween outfit.
(Don’t forget to post them to our Facebook page because we love a cat selfie!)



Watch cat videos

Let’s face it, who doesn’t love a video featuring our feline friends!? So why not spend the day looking up your favourite internet celebrity cats (without being judged!). From grumpy cats to singing cats, there are plenty of entertaining video to choose from on the web. So if your cat is not in the mood to play then this could be a great alternative to fill your day.


Adopt a cat

Not only does National Cat Day allow you to celebrate all things cat (what more could you wish for?), it also raises awareness of all the cats that are waiting to be adopted.
If you have the resources and the time, then why not adopt one of the millions of cats, from a local shelter, who are looking for their forever home. What more can you do for a cat then that?  

Do you have any tips on what to do for National Cat Day, or any photos that you would like to share? Post them onto our Facebook page, or follower us on Instagram and Twitter to be part of the Paws & Claws community today!
