National Answer Your Cat's Questions Day

Every cat owner knows of the curious faces that their furry felines sometimes express to them. The cat's head tilts to the side as they stare with such interest and intent at their owners. These puzzling faces would make any cat owner  wonder what their cat is thinking at that moment. Today is the official day to put an end to all cat owners' uncertainty; it's National Answer Your Cat's Questions Day!
The veterinarians at the California Veterinary Medical Association compiled a list of answers to the questions that cats may be wondering in order to help cat owners understand their cat's health and behavioral tendencies. These questions range from whether or not it is okay for cats to go outside to how to prevent hairballs. So if you have a feline companion and you wonder why they give you looks of confusion, today is your day to find out the reason!
Today is also National Blonde Brownie Day
January is Get Organized Month & National Oatmeal Month
